Without Chlorine we would not be able to live. Indeed I find it very difficult without it. Not enough for poison since anything in excess can be negative but I mean ‘naturally occurring’ in some substances from certain places I need.
Cl2 is used also of course to kill germs in drinking water. Without it I don’t know what we would do. Also in various other juices which other rare ones such as the bishop might need. Modo sentio Cl2 modo flores, Cl2 autem excepto flores morerentur.
Chlorine is my favourite element for glorious reasons that are dear to me. What is your favourite element?
I hope you’re not reading from your medicine cabinet, or we might think you are an anemic, osteoporotic, bipolar diabetic who likes gastrointestinal imaging studies a little too much!
OK, here are mine:
Iodine
Gadolinium
Barium
Tungsten
Molybdenum
Rhodium
Aluminum
Technetium
Thallium
Gallium
in that order, but I’m having second thoughts about Al…
Mine are all used in different kinds of medical imaging:
I, Ga, Ba = Contrast Agents
W, Mo, Rh, Al = Used to generate x-rays
Tc, Tl, Ga = Have radioactive isotopes used in imaging.
I hate chlorine. My husband is always dumping bleach on everything, and he even will boil it in kitchen pans to clean the bottom of the pan. Let me tell you the effect of that is a kind of reverse aromatherapy. It will give you a headache in about ten seconds.
My favorite elements are earth, air, fire and water. (I studied chemistry a long time ago)
I prefer unuseptium, I am sure I discovered some yesterday but then it decomposed to Krypton so I hurried it into my new green laser pen.
Eureka dat is such a pile of Buckminsterfullerene. I thought carbon to be grey in dee international standardz. Well if the bond angle is indeed 109.5 then I will let you auf.
Who is there who do not think Chlorine to give headaches. One Monday I acquired chlorine. We were reacting AgNO3 with 3, 3 , 5 - trichloroethane to see oooh white precipitate. Anyhow, there was a fume cupboard for this, but I just opened it up and let every one smell dem fumez. Vous fumez. Vous futes. Que vous fussiez desireux de Cl2. I felt a sudden euphoria. I was high I was entouré de Chloré, I could perceive a thin mist of green in the distance. Every one was like yo my head I was flying I had no clue what we were doing with the silver nitrate and other halogens but all I know is, I love shrimp. Chlorine shrimp.
Well today as I was swimming there was so much of the damn´ chlorine in the water that my eyes turned red as if i smoked several blunts. I didn´t, I swear.
Though I´m thankful for this substance, ´cause people usually pee in the pool and as we know, chlorine kills the bacteria! YEAH!
Nothing to do with Chlorine, but rather the infamous part of a Super Hit last summer (the summer before?) from the Romanian-language boy-band O-Zone. Real Video of the song here - it’s like junk food… sweet, but you find you keep eating without knowing why, even when you’re getting ill.
I like all elements that make my bonsai grow: N-P-K Rule!
Realone keeps crashing when it tries to play it, but now I remember my brother and some friends DID coment about that strange song… I think it was even translated to spanish.
