a greenish-yellow, diatomic gas that is a member of the halogen family of elements. it has the atomic symbol cl, atomic number 17, and atomic weight 70.906. it is a powerful irritant that can cause fatal pulmonary edema. chlorine is used in manufacturing, as a reagent in synthetic chemistry, for water purification, and in the production of chlorinated lime, which is used in fabric bleaching. Bleaching agent for flour [DFC]
Chlorine is the chemical element with atomic number 17 and symbol Cl. [Wikipedia]
