Chlorine violently steals electrons from other atoms
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Sitting dangerously close to the noble gases on the periodic table, chlorine is absolutely desperate for just one more electron to achieve stability. It will aggressively rip that electron away from nearly any metal or organic compound it touches, shredding atomic bonds in the process. It is a highly corrosive bully that only settles down once it forces another element to form a salt.
One discovery leads to another.
