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.
Chlorine is the second element in the seventeenth column of the periodic table. It is classified as a member of the halogen group. It has 17 electrons and 17 protons with 7 valence electrons in the outer shell. It is about the twentieth most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Characteristics and Properties. Under standard conditions chlorine is a gas that forms diatomic molecules.
