Zhong jie 2p203 CHLORINE TRIFLUORIDE.

Chlorine Trifluoride
It is made up of 1 chloride atom and 3 fluorine atoms.
Chemical Bonding.
It is a convalent bond.
Harmful Effects
-It will initiate combustion of many materials without an ignition source.
Constituent elements
Chlorine
Chlorine is a chemical element with a atomic mass of 35.5 and atomic number of 17. It is represented by the symbol Cl. As a common disinfectant, chlorine compounds are used in swimming pools to keep them clean and sanitary.
Fluorine
Fluorine is the chemical element with atomic number 9, represented by the symbol F. It is the lightest halogen. The free element, never found in nature, is a yellow-green gas. Under normal conditions elemental fluorine forms a diatomic molecule with chemical formula F2. Chemically, fluorine is one of the strongest oxidants known, and is similar to, but even more reactive and dangerous than elemental chlorine. Affinity for electrons of fluorine leads it to direct reactions with all other elements in which the reaction has been attempted, except for helium, neon and argon.
