'''Chlorine''' is in Group 7 of the periodic table, making it a [[halogen]] along with such elements as [[fluorine]], [[bromine]] amd [[iodine]]. It has an atomic number of 17. Like other halogens, it is reactive to most metals and is never found free in nature. It will always be found in a compound, and even after it effervesces from an electrolyzed solution, it will form a compound consisting of two chlorine atoms bonded together.

The primary use of chlorine is in the production of various plastics and artificial fibers, such as polyvinyl chloride. Chlorine is also used as a disinfectant for public water supplies and is an important component of several pharmaceuticals. Chlorine can also bond with an oxygen atom to form sodium hypocrite, which acts as a bleach<ref> http://www.eurochlor.org/products </ref>.
