1.   Here the X-rays knock off chlorine atoms one after another until there are only VOC-like compounds left, which are finally destroyed.

2.   With chlorinated hydrocarbons, the ease of biodegradation Decreases as the number of chlorine atoms per molecule increases.

3.   Attaching N-halamines to cotton gives chlorine atoms something to hang on to and then, just as in a swimming pool, the chlorine kills germs.

4.   A chlorine atom will readily yank the loose electron away from a nearby sodium atom.

5.   But as the PCBs sit in the river bottom, microogranisms break them down, a process that reduces the number of chlorine atoms on the molecules.

6.   Chlorine atoms in the salt make easy targets for neutrons produced by neutrino impacts, so the detection rate might improve.

7.   Forming the five other vertexes of each hexagon are five carbon atoms, each of which is bonded to either a hydrogen atom or a chlorine atom.

8.   In an ordinary salt such as sodium chloride, the valence electron deserts its metal atom for a neighboring chlorine atom, turning it into a negative chloride ion.

9.   In sucralose, three of the hydrogen-oxygen groups in each sugar molecule are replaced with chlorine atoms.

10.   Solid cubane forms molecular crystals, Gehring said, unlike ordinary salt crystals, in which lattices consist of alternate sodium and chlorine atoms.
