About Chlorine
The pure chemical element of chlorine has the physical form of a diatomic green gas. The name chlorine is derived from chloros, meaning green, referring to the color of the gas. Chlorine gas is heavier than air, has an intensely disagreeable suffocating odor, and is exceedingly poisonous. In both, the liquid and solid forms, it is a powerful oxidizing, bleaching, and disinfecting agent. It is naturally found combined with other elements, primarily sodium, in the form of common salt (NaCl), but also available in carnallite and sylvite.
