Chlorine Brendan McHale A Period
Properties of Chlorine • Category/Group is halogens • Reactivity is with all elements except Noble Gases • Density is 3.214 g/l
Properties of Chlorine • Melting point is 171.65 K (-101.5°C or -150.7°F) • Boiling point is 239.11 K (-34.04°C or -29.27°F) • The state of matter is a gas
History • Discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele • Was discovered in 1774 • Found greenish –yellow gas that was oppressive to lungs • Scheele was studying mineral pyrolusite while discovered
Uses of Chlorine • One of the most popular uses is Clorox bleach • Also used in Chlordane • A common use is also salt • Also salt bricks
