Description

Chlorine is a Chemical Element with the Symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the Halogens, it appears between Fluorine and Bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidising agent: among the elements, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity on the revised Pauling scale, behind only oxygen and fluorine.

Elemental chlorine is commercially produced from brine by electrolysis, predominantly in the chloralkali process.
