class="mw-redirect" title="Symbol (chemistry)">symbol</a> Cl and <a href="/wiki/Atomic_number" title="Atomic number">atomic number</a> 17. The second-lightest of the <a href="/wiki/Halogen" title="Halogen">halogens</a>, it appears between <a href="/wiki/Fluorine" title="Fluorine">fluorine</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bromine" title="Bromine">bromine</a> 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 <a href="/wiki/Oxidizing_agent" title="Oxidizing agent">oxidising agent</a>: among the elements, it has the highest <a href="/wiki/Electron_affinity" title="Electron affinity">electron affinity</a> and the third-highest <a href="/wiki/Electronegativity" title="Electronegativity">electronegativity</a> on the revised <a href="/wiki/Electronegativity#Pauling_electronegativity" title="Electronegativity">Pauling scale</a>, behind only <a href="/wiki/Oxygen" title="Oxygen">oxygen</a> and fluorine. Chlorine played an important role in the experiments conducted by medieval <a href="/wiki/Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemists</a>, which commonly involved the heating of chloride <a href="/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)" title="Salt (chemistry)">salts</a> like <a href="/wiki/Ammonium_chloride" title="Ammonium chloride">ammonium chloride</a> (<a href="/wiki/Sal_ammoniac" class="mw-redirect" title="Sal ammoniac">sal ammoniac</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Sodium_chloride" title="Sodium chloride">sodium chloride</a> (<a href="/wiki/Common_salt" class="mw-redirect" title="Common salt">common salt</a>), producing various chemical substances containing chlorine such as <a href="/wiki/Hydrogen_chloride" title="Hydrogen chloride">hydrogen chloride</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mercury(II)_chloride" title="Mercury(II) chloride">mercury(II) chloride</a> (corrosive sublimate), and <a href="/wiki/Aqua_regia" title="Aqua regia">aqua regia</a>. However, the nature of free chlorine gas as a separate substance was only recognised around 1630 by <a href="/wiki/Jan_Baptist_van_Helmont" title="Jan Baptist van Helmont">Jan Baptist van Helmont</a>. <a href="/wiki/Carl_Wilhelm_Scheele" title="Carl Wilhelm Scheele">Carl Wilhelm Scheele</a> wrote a description of chlorine gas in 1774, supposing it to be an <a href="/wiki/Oxide" title="Oxide">oxide</a> of a new element. In 1809, chemists suggested that the gas might be a pure element, and this was confirmed by <a href="/wiki/Sir_Humphry_Davy" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Humphry Davy">Sir Humphry Davy</a> in 1810, who named it after the <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancient Greek language">Ancient Greek</a> χλωρός (khlōrós, "pale green") because of its colour. Because of its great reactivity, all chlorine in the Earth's crust is in the form of <a href="/wiki/Ion" title="Ion">ionic</a> <a href="/wiki/Chloride" title="Chloride">chloride</a> compounds, which includes table salt. It is the <a href="/wiki/Abundance_of_elements_in_Earth%27s_crust" title="Abundance of elements in Earth's crust">second-most abundant</a> halogen (after fluorine) and 20th most abundant element in Earth's crust. These crystal deposits are nevertheless dwarfed by the huge reserves of chloride in seawater. Elemental chlorine is commercially produced from <a href="/wiki/Brine" title="Brine">brine</a> by <a href="/wiki/Electrolysis" title="Electrolysis">electrolysis</a>, predominantly in the <a href="/wiki/Chloralkali_process" title="Chloralkali process">chloralkali process</a>. The high oxidising potential of elemental chlorine led to the development of commercial <a href="/wiki/Bleach_(chemical)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bleach (chemical)">bleaches</a> and <a href="/wiki/Disinfectant" title="Disinfectant">disinfectants</a>, and a <a href="/wiki/Reagent" title="Reagent">reagent</a> for many processes in the chemical industry.

Chlorine has the electron configuration [Ne]3s23p5, with the seven electrons in the third and outermost shell acting as its <a href="/wiki/Valence_electron" title="Valence electron">valence electrons</a>. Like all halogens, it is thus one electron short of a full octet, and is hence a strong oxidising agent, reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood800-40">[39]</a> Corresponding to <a href="/wiki/Periodic_trend" class="mw-redirect" title="Periodic trend">periodic trends</a>, it is intermediate in <a href="/wiki/Electronegativity" title="Electronegativity">electronegativity</a> between fluorine and bromine (F: 3.98, Cl: 3.16, Br: 2.96, I: 2.66), and is less reactive than fluorine and more reactive than bromine.

Conversely, the <a href="/wiki/Chloride" title="Chloride">chloride</a> ion is a weaker reducing agent than bromide, but a stronger one than fluoride.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood800-40">[39]</a> It is intermediate in <a href="/wiki/Atomic_radius" title="Atomic radius">atomic radius</a> between fluorine and bromine, and this leads to many of its atomic properties similarly continuing the trend from iodine to bromine upward, such as first <a href="/wiki/Ionisation_energy" class="mw-redirect" title="Ionisation energy">ionisation energy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Electron_affinity" title="Electron affinity">electron affinity</a>, enthalpy of dissociation of the X2 molecule (X = Cl, Br, I), ionic radius, and X–X bond length.

Thus, the melting and boiling points of chlorine are intermediate between those of fluorine and bromine: chlorine melts at −101.0 °C and boils at −34.0 °C. As a result of the increasing molecular weight of the halogens down the group, the density and heats of fusion and vaporisation of chlorine are again intermediate between those of bromine and fluorine, although all their heats of vaporisation are fairly low (leading to high volatility) thanks to their diatomic molecular structure.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood800-40">[39]</a> The halogens darken in colour as the group is descended: thus, while fluorine is a pale yellow gas, chlorine is distinctly yellow-green. This trend occurs because the wavelengths of visible light absorbed by the halogens increase down the group.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood800-40">[39]</a> Specifically, the colour of a halogen, such as chlorine, results from the <a href="/wiki/Atomic_electron_transition" title="Atomic electron transition">electron transition</a> between the <a href="/wiki/HOMO/LUMO" class="mw-redirect" title="HOMO/LUMO">highest occupied</a> antibonding πg molecular orbital and the lowest vacant antibonding σu molecular orbital.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood804-41">[40]</a> The colour fades at low temperatures, so that solid chlorine at −195 °C is almost colourless.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood800-40">[39]</a> Like solid bromine and iodine, solid chlorine crystallises in the <a href="/wiki/Orthorhombic_crystal_system" title="Orthorhombic crystal system">orthorhombic crystal system</a>, in a layered lattice of Cl2 molecules. The Cl–Cl distance is 198 pm (close to the gaseous Cl–Cl distance of 199 pm) and the Cl···Cl distance between molecules is 332 pm within a layer and 382 pm between layers (compare the van der Waals radius of chlorine, 180 pm).

However, this trend is not shown in the bond energies because fluorine is singular due to its small size, low polarisability, and inability to show <a href="/wiki/Hypervalence" class="mw-redirect" title="Hypervalence">hypervalence</a>. As another difference, chlorine has a significant chemistry in positive oxidation states while fluorine does not. Chlorination often leads to higher oxidation states than bromination or iodination but lower oxidation states than fluorination. Chlorine tends to react with compounds including M–M, M–H, or M–C bonds to form M–Cl bonds.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood804-41">[40]</a> Given that E°(<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1214402035">.mw-parser-output .sfrac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .sfrac.tion,.mw-parser-output .sfrac .tion{display:inline-block;vertical-align:-0.5em;font-size:85%;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .sfrac .num{display:block;line-height:1em;margin:0.0em 0.1em;border-bottom:1px solid}.mw-parser-output .sfrac .den{display:block;line-height:1em;margin:0.1em 0.1em}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}</style>⁠1/2⁠O2/H2O) = +1.229 V, which is less than +1.395 V, it would be expected that chlorine should be able to oxidise water to oxygen and hydrochloric acid.

Chlorides can be made by reaction of an element or its oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate with hydrochloric acid, and then dehydrated by mildly high temperatures combined with either low pressure or anhydrous hydrogen chloride gas. These methods work best when the chloride product is stable to hydrolysis; otherwise, the possibilities include high-temperature oxidative chlorination of the element with chlorine or hydrogen chloride, high-temperature chlorination of a metal oxide or other halide by chlorine, a volatile metal chloride, <a href="/wiki/Carbon_tetrachloride" title="Carbon tetrachloride">carbon tetrachloride</a>, or an organic chloride.

The ClO radical leads to the depletion of atmospheric ozone and is thus environmentally important as follows:<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood844-58">[57]</a> <dl><dd>Cl• + O3 ⟶ ClO• + O2</dd> <dd>ClO• + O• ⟶ Cl• + O2</dd></dl> <a href="/wiki/Chlorine_perchlorate" title="Chlorine perchlorate">Chlorine perchlorate</a> (ClOClO3) is a pale yellow liquid that is less stable than ClO2 and decomposes at room temperature to form chlorine, oxygen, and <a href="/wiki/Dichlorine_hexoxide" title="Dichlorine hexoxide">dichlorine hexoxide</a> (Cl2O6).<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood844-58">[57]</a> Chlorine perchlorate may also be considered a chlorine derivative of <a href="/wiki/Perchloric_acid" title="Perchloric acid">perchloric acid</a> (HOClO3), similar to the thermally unstable chlorine derivatives of other oxoacids: examples include <a href="/wiki/Chlorine_nitrate" title="Chlorine nitrate">chlorine nitrate</a> (ClONO2, vigorously reactive and explosive), and chlorine fluorosulfate (ClOSO2F, more stable but still moisture-sensitive and highly reactive).<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood883-59">[58]</a> Dichlorine hexoxide is a dark-red liquid that freezes to form a solid which turns yellow at −180 °C: it is usually made by reaction of chlorine dioxide with oxygen. Despite attempts to rationalise it as the dimer of ClO3, it reacts more as though it were chloryl perchlorate, [ClO2]+[ClO4]−, which has been confirmed to be the correct structure of the solid. It hydrolyses in water to give a mixture of chloric and perchloric acids: the analogous reaction with anhydrous <a href="/wiki/Hydrogen_fluoride" title="Hydrogen fluoride">hydrogen fluoride</a> does not proceed to completion.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood844-58">[57]</a> <a href="/wiki/Dichlorine_heptoxide" title="Dichlorine heptoxide">Dichlorine heptoxide</a> (Cl2O7) is the anhydride of <a href="/wiki/Perchloric_acid" title="Perchloric acid">perchloric acid</a> (HClO4) and can readily be obtained from it by dehydrating it with <a href="/wiki/Phosphoric_acid" title="Phosphoric acid">phosphoric acid</a> at −10 °C and then distilling the product at −35 °C and 1 mmHg. It is a shock-sensitive, colourless oily liquid. It is the least reactive of the chlorine oxides, being the only one to not set organic materials on fire at room temperature. It may be dissolved in water to regenerate perchloric acid or in aqueous alkalis to regenerate perchlorates. However, it thermally decomposes explosively by breaking one of the central Cl–O bonds, producing the radicals ClO3 and ClO4 which immediately decompose to the elements through intermediate oxides.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood844-58">[57]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chlorine_oxoacids_and_oxyanions">Chlorine oxoacids and oxyanions</h3></div> <table class="wikitable" style="float:right; margin-top:0; margin-left:1em; text-align:center; font-size:10pt; line-height:11pt; width:25%;"> <caption>Standard reduction potentials for aqueous Cl species<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood853-46">[45]</a> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th>E°(couple)</th> <th>a(H+) = 1 (acid)</th> <th>E°(couple)</th> <th>a(OH−) = 1 (base) </th></tr> <tr> <td>Cl2/Cl−</td> <td>+1.358</td> <td>Cl2/Cl−</td> <td>+1.358 </td></tr> <tr> <td>HOCl/Cl−</td> <td>+1.484</td> <td>ClO−/Cl−</td> <td>+0.890 </td></tr> <tr> <td>ClO− 3/Cl−</td> <td>+1.459</td> <td> </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <td>HOCl/Cl2</td> <td>+1.630</td> <td>ClO−/Cl2</td> <td>+0.421 </td></tr> <tr> <td>HClO2/Cl2</td> <td>+1.659</td> <td> </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <td>ClO− 3/Cl2</td> <td>+1.468</td> <td> </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <td>ClO− 4/Cl2</td> <td>+1.277</td> <td> </td> <td>  </td></tr> <tr> <td>HClO2/HOCl</td> <td>+1.701</td> <td>ClO− 2/ClO−</td> <td>+0.681 </td></tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td>ClO− 3/ClO−</td> <td>+0.488 </td></tr> <tr> <td>ClO− 3/HClO2</td> <td>+1.181</td> <td>ClO− 3/ClO− 2</td> <td>+0.295 </td></tr> <tr> <td>ClO− 4/ClO− 3</td> <td>+1.201</td> <td>ClO− 4/ClO− 3</td> <td>+0.374 </td></tr></tbody></table> Chlorine forms four oxoacids: <a href="/wiki/Hypochlorous_acid" title="Hypochlorous acid">hypochlorous acid</a> (HOCl), <a href="/wiki/Chlorous_acid" title="Chlorous acid">chlorous acid</a> (HOClO), <a href="/wiki/Chloric_acid" title="Chloric acid">chloric acid</a> (HOClO2), and <a href="/wiki/Perchloric_acid" title="Perchloric acid">perchloric acid</a> (HOClO3). As can be seen from the redox potentials given in the adjacent table, chlorine is much more stable towards disproportionation in acidic solutions than in alkaline solutions:<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood853-46">[45]</a> <dl><dd><table> <tbody><tr> <td>Cl2 + H2O</td> <td>⇌ HOCl + H+ + Cl−</td> <td>Kac = 4.2 × 10−4 mol2 l−2 </td></tr> <tr> <td>Cl2 + 2 OH−</td> <td>⇌ OCl− + H2O + Cl−</td> <td>Kalk = 7.5 × 1015 mol−1 l </td></tr></tbody></table></dd></dl> The hypochlorite ions also disproportionate further to produce chloride and chlorate (3 ClO− ⇌ 2 Cl− + ClO− 3) but this reaction is quite slow at temperatures below 70 °C in spite of the very favourable equilibrium constant of 1027. The chlorate ions may themselves disproportionate to form chloride and perchlorate (4 ClO− 3 ⇌ Cl− + 3 ClO− 4) but this is still very slow even at 100 °C despite the very favourable equilibrium constant of 1020. The rates of reaction for the chlorine oxyanions increases as the oxidation state of chlorine decreases. The strengths of the chlorine oxyacids increase very quickly as the oxidation state of chlorine increases due to the increasing delocalisation of charge over more and more oxygen atoms in their conjugate bases.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood853-46">[45]</a> Most of the chlorine oxoacids may be produced by exploiting these disproportionation reactions. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is highly reactive and quite unstable; its salts are mostly used for their bleaching and sterilising abilities. They are very strong oxidising agents, transferring an oxygen atom to most inorganic species. Chlorous acid (HOClO) is even more unstable and cannot be isolated or concentrated without decomposition: it is known from the decomposition of aqueous chlorine dioxide. However, <a href="/wiki/Sodium_chlorite" title="Sodium chlorite">sodium chlorite</a> is a stable salt and is useful for bleaching and stripping textiles, as an oxidising agent, and as a source of chlorine dioxide. Chloric acid (HOClO2) is a strong acid that is quite stable in cold water up to 30% concentration, but on warming gives chlorine and chlorine dioxide. Evaporation under reduced pressure allows it to be concentrated further to about 40%, but then it decomposes to perchloric acid, chlorine, oxygen, water, and chlorine dioxide. Its most important salt is <a href="/wiki/Sodium_chlorate" title="Sodium chlorate">sodium chlorate</a>, mostly used to make chlorine dioxide to bleach paper pulp. The decomposition of chlorate to chloride and oxygen is a common way to produce oxygen in the laboratory on a small scale. Chloride and chlorate may comproportionate to form chlorine as follows:<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood856-60">[59]</a> <dl><dd>ClO− 3 + 5 Cl− + 6 H+ ⟶ 3 Cl2 + 3 H2O</dd></dl> Perchlorates and perchloric acid (HOClO3) are the most stable oxo-compounds of chlorine, in keeping with the fact that chlorine compounds are most stable when the chlorine atom is in its lowest (−1) or highest (+7) possible oxidation states. Perchloric acid and aqueous perchlorates are vigorous and sometimes violent oxidising agents when heated, in stark contrast to their mostly inactive nature at room temperature due to the high activation energies for these reactions for kinetic reasons. Perchlorates are made by electrolytically oxidising sodium chlorate, and perchloric acid is made by reacting anhydrous <a href="/wiki/Sodium_perchlorate" title="Sodium perchlorate">sodium perchlorate</a> or <a href="/wiki/Barium_perchlorate" title="Barium perchlorate">barium perchlorate</a> with concentrated hydrochloric acid, filtering away the chloride precipitated and distilling the filtrate to concentrate it. Anhydrous perchloric acid is a colourless mobile liquid that is sensitive to shock that explodes on contact with most organic compounds, sets <a href="/wiki/Hydrogen_iodide" title="Hydrogen iodide">hydrogen iodide</a> and <a href="/wiki/Thionyl_chloride" title="Thionyl chloride">thionyl chloride</a> on fire and even oxidises silver and gold. Although it is a weak ligand, weaker than water, a few compounds involving coordinated ClO− 4 are known.<a href="#cite_note-Greenwood856-60">[59]</a> The Table below presents typical oxidation states for chlorine element as given in the secondary schools or colleges. There are more complex chemical compounds, the structure of which can only be explained using modern quantum chemical methods, for example, cluster technetium chloride [(CH3)4N]3[Tc6Cl14], in which 6 of the 14 chlorine atoms are formally divalent, and oxidation states are fractional.<a href="#cite_note-61">[60]</a><a href="#cite_note-62">[61]</a> In addition, all the above chemical regularities are valid for "normal" or close to normal conditions, while at ultra-high pressures (for example, in the cores of large planets), chlorine can exhibit an oxidation state of -3, forming a Na3Cl

( 6) (a) On one half ounce of finely ground Braunstein [pyrolusite] was poured one ounce of pure spiritus salis [spirit of salt, hydrogen chloride]. After this mixture had been standing in the cold for one hour, the acid had assumed a dark brown colour. One part of this solution was poured into a glass, which was placed over the fire. The solution gave off an odour like warm aqua regia and after one quarter's hour duration, it was as clear and colourless as water, and the smell had disappeared.)
