Description
It is the halogen element. It is greenish yellow, poisonous and gaseous. It is abundant in nature as sodium chloride in seawater. It is a strong oxidizing agent that reacts directly with many elements and compounds. It was discovered by Karl Scheele in 1774. In 1810, Humphrey David confirmed that it was an element.
Language Of Origin
Greek
Origin Of Word
From the Greek word chloros meaning "greenish yellow"
Meaning
pale green
Symbol Origin
descriptive (color): Greek chloros
Etymological Description
It comes from the Greek word chlorós, meaning "yellowish green" or "greenish yellow", due to its color in gaseous state.
