Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle chlorides by chemistry, uses, environmental and water quality aspects and safety, and give general health information without personal advice.

The chloride ion, Cl-, and compounds containing it, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and potassium chloride; chloride is an essential electrolyte in the body, a major ion in seawater and a common contaminant from road salt, and chloride salts have many industrial uses.

What it is for: Chemistry, industry, de-icing, food and physiology.

It can be identify chloride compounds and properties; understand chloride in drinking water and the environment; use chloride salts safely; find general health information on electrolytes.

Distinguishing features

Cl- ion

Forms many salts

Essential electrolyte

Can corrode metals

What it looks like

Many chlorides are white crystalline salts that dissolve in water.

How it is recognised

Salts such as NaCl and CaCl2

Road salt deposits

Chlorine gas is the element, not the ion
