The Health Effects of Chlorine Depend on the Amount of Chlorine in the Air
Chlorine Chlorine is an atomic number 17 chemical element with the symbol Cl. It is the second-lightest of the halogens, appearing in the periodic table between fluorine and bromine, and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. At room temperature, It is a yellow-green gas. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidizing agent; on the revised Pauling scale, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity, trailing only oxygen and fluorine. Nitrogen's electronegativity is listed as greater than chlorenes on several scales other than the revised Pauling scale, including the Allen, Allred-Rochon, Martynov-Batsanov, Mulliken-Jaffe, Nagle, and Noorizadeh-Shakerzadeh electronegativity scales. The global Chlorine Market was valued at US$ 13,948.7 million in 2017 and is expected to register a CAGR of 5.0% in terms of revenue, over the forecast period (2018 – 2025), to reach US$ 20,493.0 million by 2025.
