o The name of my element is Chlorine and it's symbol is Cl.
o The element was discovered by a swedish chemist named carl Wilhelm Scheele. Chlorine was produced by treating the mineral
pyrolusite.
o The element is important because it is used in water purification.
And it's also used as a bleach in the paper and pulp industry.
o Are there important isotopes of the element?
Structure/Periodic Table Information
o The element's atomic number is 17.
o It's average atomic mass is
35.453.
o The element can be located in period #3
o Chlorine belongs to group #17 and belongs to the halogen family.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties (5)
The color of chlorine gas is a greenish-yellow. it's melting point is
-29.27°F (-34.04°C). Chlorine however is a gas at room temperature, and soluble in water and reacts with water when it disolves.
Chemical Properties (3)
• Chlorine will react with sodium to produce a purple colored gas like showin in the picture above.
• When chlorine is added to water it reacts with it then disolves to where it isn't visible to kill all of the disease causing organisms
• fluorine is a element that is simular to chlorine.
