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.
AND information that all atoms are nuetral, meaning that chlorine would have 17 protons, 17 electron and 18 nuetrons. I... show more I have an atom project due in the new year, and while surfing the internet, I came across conflicting information. First that Chlorine has one more electron than proton forming a negative charge. AND information that all atoms are nuetral, meaning that chlorine would have 17 protons, 17 electron and 18 nuetrons. I guess I'm a little confused on which information I should go by for my atom project. Please help.[:
