Chlorine is a greenish yellow gas at room temperature that forms salts and organic chlorinated compounds.
Properties of Chlorine | It is highly reactive, strongly oxidizing and forms stable chloride ions in aqueous environments.
Uses of Chlorine | Produced industrially by electrolysis of brine, chlorine is used for water disinfection, PVC production and chemical synthesis.
Isotopes of Chlorine | Stable isotopes Cl 35 and Cl 37 exist; elemental chlorine is toxic and corrosive and requires strict industrial safety measures.
