Let’s Begin…

The team at periodicvideos has created a TED-Ed Lesson for every element of the periodic table. This one is about chlorine - element number 17, an extremely reactive and dangerous gas, which was used as a weapon in World War I.

Chlorine is found in many common products: Sodium chloride is the salt we use to cook; bleach is a solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaClO); the main components of gastric acid are hydrochloride acid (HCl) and the salts, NaCl and KCl.
