Why don't chlorine molecules decompose to give Cl free radicals please explain in terms of kc?

Chlorine molecules will break down when exposed to UV light and create CL free radicals. CL molecules will freely colide with other molecules and create free radicals. I cannot find a specific reason for why CL doesn't decompose.

Would you expect the bolling point of chlorine to be higher or lower than that of iodine explain?
The boiling point of iodine (184.3 0C) is substantially higher than the boiling point of chlorine (-34 0C). Each element occurs at standard temperature and pressure as diatomic molecules; iodine molecules have substantially more mass than chlorine molecules; dispersion forces will be higher beween iodine molecules as they have more electrons than chlorine molecules. Both these factors contribute, mass will alomost certainly be the predominant factor.
Explain How do the atom of magnesium and chlorine form ions?
A magnesium atom gives two electrons to two chlorine atoms to form a magnesium ion and two chloride ions.
Sodium and chlorine are in the same period on the periodic table explain the difference in their sizes?
Sodium is larger than chlorine because chlorine has more protons and outer level electrons which gives the positive nucleus a greater pull on the outer electrons.
1. The ionic compound made from aluminum and chlorine has the formula AlCl3. Explain in detail why it is the correct formula?
ionic bonding
Explain how the poisionous elements sodium and chlorine can be eaten when combined?
NaCl(s) or sodium chloride, is commonly known as table salt.
How many chlorine atoms does it take to destroy 100000 ozone molecules in the stratosphere?
It's funny because I just read in my textbook, which was printed this year 2012, that one chlorine atom can destroy "ONE Million" ozone molecules. They do not explain why. It is more then likely goofball science that no one can back up. I'm no chem expert, but... Cl + O3 YIELDS destruction of (thousands/millions) O3 molecules. Yeah right.

Explain the use of chlorine in water purification plant?

how do you explain what polar molecules are?
Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.
Explain What are polar covalent molecules?
Covalent molecules are compounds/elements bonded together/formed by the sharing of electrons between 2 or more different atoms. Polar covalent molecules forms due to the disparity in electronegativity within the atoms in the compound. For example, in HCl, chlorine is a highly electronegative element while hydrogen is not. Thus, chlorine will pull electrons in the covalent bond towards itself. As a result, delta+ charge occurs at the hydrogen end of the molecule, while delta- charge occurs at the chlorine end of the molecule. Thus, in the overall, slightly charges (aka delta charges) form at different ends of the molecule.
Do polar molecules conduct energy as well as ionic molecules explain?
no, because there are no ions present.
