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.
Chlorine has seven valence electrons. Chlorine has atomic number 17. The atomic number is the number of protons present in the nucleus of an atom.All the atoms of an element have same atomic number. In every stable atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons.
