Chlorine is a chemical element with symbol Cl and atomic number 17. Chlorine is in the halogen group and is the second lightest halogen after fluorine. It has the highest electron affinity and the third highest electronegativity of all the elements
At standard conditions chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas with a sharp irritating odour, toxic. It in 2,5 times is heavier some air. In 1 volume of water at the 20°C, dissolves about 2 volumes of chlorine. This solution is called chloric water
Physical and chemical
Chlorine is a chemical element with symbol Cl and atomic number 17. Chlorine is in the halogen group and is the second lightest halogen after fluorine. It has the highest electron affinity and the third highest electronegativity of all the elements
At standard conditions chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas with a sharp irritating odour, toxic. It in 2,5 times is heavier some air. In 1 volume of water at the 20°C, dissolves about 2 volumes of chlorine. This solution is called chloric water
At atmospheric pressure chlorine at -34°C passes to a liquid state, and at -101°C hardens. At room temperature it passes in liquid condition only at pressure of 6 atm. Chlorine well dissolve in many organic solvents, especially in tetrachloride of carbon, but doesn't react with him
At outer electronic level atom of chlorine has 7 electrons (s2p5) because it easily attaches an electron, forming Сl-. Owing to existence of the blank d-level in atom of chlorine there can be 1, 3, 5 and 7 not coupled electrons therefore in oxygen compounds can have extent of oxidation +1, +3, +5 and +7
In lack of moisture chlorine is quite inert, but in presence moisture traces its activity sharply increases. It well react with metals:
2 Fe+ 3 Cl2 = 2 FeCl3
Cu + Cl2 = CuCl2
and many non-metals:
H2 + Cl2 = 2HCl
2S + Cl2 = S2Cl2
Si + 2Cl2 = SiCl4
2P + 5Cl2 = 2PCl5
With oxygen, carbon and nitrogen chlorine doesn't react
At chlorine dissolution in water two acids are formed: hydrochloric and hypochlorous:
Cl2 + H2O = HCl + HClO
At chlorine interaction with
Cl2 + 2 NaOH = NaCl + NaClO + H2O
By heating chlorine easily react with many organic substances. In limiting and aromatic hydrocarbons it replaces hydrogen, forming organochlorine connection and hydrogen chloride, and to nonlimiting joins in a place of double or threefold communication.
CH4 + CI2 = CH3CI + HCI
CH3CI + CI2= CH2CI2 + HCI
CH2CI2+ CI2 = CH3CI + HCI
CHCI3 + CI2= CCI4 + HCI
Chlorine is a strong oxidizer therefore easily react with difficult substances which structure includes the elements, can be oxidized to higher valency condition:
2 FeCl2 + Cl2 = 2 FeCl3
H2SO3 + Cl2 + H2O = H2SO4 + 2 HCl
Questions for check
1. Physical properties of chlorine.
2. Why oxygen compounds can have
extent of oxidation +1, +3, +5 and +7?
3. With what reacts chlorine?
4. What are formed at chlorine dissolution in water?
5. Does chlorine a strong oxidizer or reducer?
