  • Chlorine was first isolated in 1774 by the Swedish chemist, C W Scheele. Chlorine is made from common salt (sodium chloride) and water. Chlorine is one of the most common elements in nature. http://www.eurochlor.org/aboutchlorine Chlorine was given its current name in 1810 by Sir Humphry Davy, who insisted that it was in fact an element. The name is derived from the Greek word "chlōros" which describes a color of light green or green-yellow, because the gas is that colour. http://elements.vanderkrogt.net/elem/cl.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine#History
