Chlorine itself is a chemical element and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means. However, it can undergo chemical reactions to form various compounds, such as sodium chloride (table salt) when it reacts with sodium. In nuclear processes, isotopes of chlorine can be transformed into different elements, but this involves nuclear reactions rather than typical chemical decomposition.

What is an substance that cannot be broken down?
An element is the only substance that cannot be broken down.
What breaks down protein bilirubin and iron?
Proteins are broken down by proteases, bilirubin is broken down by the liver, and iron is broken down by macrophages in the liver and spleen.
What is CFC and how is the ozone molecule destroyed by CFCs?
A CFC is a molecule which consists of Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon only. Ozone is destroyed due to the formation of a chlorine free radical. For example, the CFC CCl2F2 photo-dissociates (decomposes due to UV rays) to form the chlorine free radical and this then reacts with ozone breaking it down into oxygen. The main problem with CFCs is that after destroying the ozone molecule, the chlorine free radical regenerates and can destroy more ozone in a massive chain reaction.
Genus are broken down into these smaller groups?
Genus' are broken down in species.
What does the word 'granularity' mean?
Granularity is the extent to which is system is broken down into smaller parts. It can be either the system itself or its description. For example it can be a yard broken down into inches or a yard broken down into feet. The yard broken down into inches has finer granularity then the yard broken down into feet.
Can copper chloride break down into anything simpler?
Yes, it can broken down into two elements: copper & chlorine
Can table salt be broken down into anything smaller?
After the electrolysis of melted NaCl chlorine and sodium are obtained.
Can a element be broken down into substances with different properties?
No. Compounds and mixtures are made of elements and can be broken down, as in table salt which is Sodium Chloride and can be split into sodium and chlorine gas, which are elements that have different properties.
Why do you need a chlorine generator?
If you have a salt water pool then the chlorine generator is there to convert the salt into chlorine to keep up the chlorine content of the pool. However if you don't have one of these or it is broken down you can always add chlorine directly to make up the shortfall until the necessary repairs are done.
Are all chlorine tablets stabilized how do you tell?
Not all chlorine tablets are stabilized. Stabilized chlorine tablets contain cyanuric acid, which helps protect the chlorine from being broken down by sunlight. You can tell if a chlorine tablet is stabilized by checking the label for the presence of cyanuric acid.
What type of chlorine to add to a salt concrete pool?
Salt water pools have their own chlorinators built into the system. However if this is broken down or under performing you can augment it with any sort of pool chlorine.
What are the main sources of chlorine radicals?
The main sources of chlorine radicals are reactions involving chlorine-containing compounds such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the atmosphere. These compounds can release chlorine radicals when broken down by sunlight or other chemical reactions.
You cannot get the salt level to come up in your swimming pool and the chlorine generator will not produce chlorine?
It sounds like the chlorine generator is broken
Can copper chloride be broken down into anything simpler?
Yes, copper chloride can be broken down into simpler compounds by various chemical reactions. For example, heating copper chloride can decompose it into copper and chlorine gas. Alternatively, electrolysis of a copper chloride solution can also break it down into its constituent elements.
Why wouldent anything happen to you if you eat sodium chlorine?
If you mean sodium "chloride", that's because it's common salt. It gets broken down in your body.
How do you break down copper chloride into its elements?
Copper chloride can be broken down into its elements, copper and chlorine, through a chemical reaction. One method is to heat a mixture of copper chloride and a reducing agent, like hydrogen gas, which will cause the copper chloride to decompose into copper and chlorine gas. The chlorine gas can be collected and the copper would remain behind as a solid.
Can sodium chloride be broken down into atoms?
Yes, sodium chloride can be broken down into its constituent atoms of sodium and chlorine through a chemical reaction. Sodium chloride is composed of sodium cations (Na+) and chloride anions (Cl-), which can be separated by electrolysis or other chemical processes.
