An Allegory is used to tell a story that has characters, a setting, as well as other types of symbols, that have both literal and figurative meanings.
Chlorine is counted among this group along with hydrogen (H 2), iodine (I 2), bromine (Br 2), oxygen (O 2), nitrogen (N 2) and fluorine (Fl 2). With seven electrons in its outermost orbit--one electron short of a stable eight-- the element chlorine exists in nature as a diatomic molecule. This arrangement allows two chlorine atoms to share their outermost orbit electrons, achieving stability, compared to the single atom.
The oxidation state of sodium is +1. 5. Example: Chlorine. In a chlorine molecule, the chlorine atoms are. covalently bonded. The two atoms share electrons. equally and the oxidation state is 0. 6. Example: Chlorine. The two atoms of a hydrogen chloride molecule are covalently. bonded. The electrons are not shared equally because chlorine is. more electronegative than hydrogen. There are no ions but the oxidation state of chlorine in HCl is -1 and. the oxidation state of hydrogen is +1.
