Chlorides are compounds that contain chlorine in combination with an electropositive element. The chloride form of each metal is generally soluble in water, except for bleaching chloride, which is only sparingly soluble, and silver chloride, which is insoluble. Antimony chloride, bismuth chloride and others decompose in water, forming oxychlorides. Most metal chlorides can be melted without decomposition, except gold and platinum chloride. Metal chlorides conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water. Electrolysis decomposes metal chlorides into chlorine gas and the corresponding metal.
Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. It is the second lightest among the halogens and is positioned in the periodic table between Fluorine and Bromine, with properties that are generally intermediate. At room temperature, chlorine exists as a yellow-green gas.
The element chlorine, numbered 17 in the periodic table, finds varied applications. It is used to sterilise drinking water and disinfect swimming pools. It is also employed in the manufacture of common products such as paper, textiles, pharmaceuticals, paints and plastics; notably, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is produced from chlorine.
