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.
Every chlorine atom has 17 protons; 17 is the atomic number of chlorine. However, chlorine has two isotopes that are stable against radioactive decay. These have mass numbers â¦ of 35 and 37, which have 18 and 20 neutrons respectively.
