'''Chlorine''' is a [[chemical element]] that has the atomic number 17, and the symbol Cl. There is an abundance of chlorine in nature since it is found in common [[salt]] as one of the two elements making up [[sodium chloride]]. When chlorine is in the form of a gas, its color becomes greenish yellow, and its weight is more than twice that of air. Chlorine gas has a suffocating odor and is very poisonous to every living thing. It is perhaps best known for its powerful disinfecting activity.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine] | '''Chlorine''' is a [[chemical element]] that has the atomic number 17, and the symbol Cl.
