Chlorine word list, defined
- CHLORINE /ˈklɔːriːn/ (UK), /ˈklɔːrɪn/ (US) · noun

- HALOGEN /ˈhælədʒən/ · noun
- A member of a group of nonmetallic elements in Group 17 of the periodic table, including fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. They are highly reactive and readily form compounds with other elements. Related: nonmetal, halide, alkali metalloid, noble gas.
- ELEMENT /ˈɛlɪmənt/ · noun
- A fundamental or essential part of something larger; in chemistry and physics, a substance consisting of atoms all with the same atomic number that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. Related: component, constituent, ingredient, factor.
- PERIODIC /ˈpɪriədɪk/ · adjective
- Happening or done at regular intervals; recurring at fixed intervals. Occurring or done at regular times. Related: regular, recurring, intermittent, sporadic.
- ATOMIC /əˈtɒmɪk/ · adjective
- Relating to atoms, or to the energy or structure of atoms. More broadly, describing something that is divided into very small, discrete units. Related: nuclear, minute, tiny.
- PROTONS /prɒtɒnz/ · noun
- Protons are positively charged subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. They have a mass of approximately 1 atomic mass unit. Related: positrons, ions, particles, subatomic particles.
- ELECTRONS /ɪˈlɛktrɒnz/ · noun
- Electrons are the plural of 'electron': stable subatomic particles with a negative electric charge that orbit the nucleus of an atom and are responsible for electricity, chemical bonding, and many physical phenomena.
- NEUTRONS /njuːtrɒnz/ · noun
- A subatomic particle with no electric charge, found in the nucleus of an atom, and playing a key role in nuclear reactions. Related: protons, electrons, nucleus, subatomic.
- SHELL /ʃel/ · noun, verb
- The outer covering of a tree seed, typically hard and woody. To remove the outer covering of something, especially a nut or a seed. Related: husk, peel, covering, exoskeleton.
- VALENCE /ˈvæləns/ · noun
- The capacity of an atom or radical to combine with others; the number of electrons an atom loses or gains to form a chemical bond. In chemistry, the valence of an atom is a measure of its combining power. Related: combining power, chemical affinity, electronegativity, oxidation state.
- OXIDIZER /ˈɒksɪˌaɪzər/ · noun
- A substance that promotes oxidation, often used in chemical reactions or as a component in rocket fuel. Related: oxidising agent, oxidising substance, oxygen supplier, fuel enhancer.
