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.
How many electrons, protons and neutrons does chlorine have? The chemical element chlorine has 17 electrons, 17 protons and 18 neutrons. An atom, which is the fundamental unit of an element, contains an equal number of electrons and protons. The number of neutrons is calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
