Concentration of elements in the ocean relative to the total concentration in the bulk silicate Earth (BSE). Of all the elements, only Cl and Br have a significant fraction in the ocean (see inset), indicating the extreme hydrophilic character for the heavier halogens.
Nearly all chlorine in the Earth's crust occurs as chloride in various ionic compounds, including table salt. It is the second most abundant halogen and 21st most abundant chemical element in Earth's crust. Elemental chlorine is commercially produced from brine by electrolysis.
