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.
this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomi â¦ c number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1. Answered.
