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.
Chloride is a monovalent ion with -1 charge. Therefore, it has 18 electrons and seventeen protons. The electron configuration of chloride is 1 s 2 2 s 2 2 p 6 3s 2 3p 6. Chloride exists in ionic compounds such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and HCl, which are ionic. Chloride has achieved the Argon electron configuration, therefore, stable than the chlorine atom. â¢ Chloride ion is attracted to positively charged electrodes or other positively charged chemical species, but chlorine does not.
