By function if you mean the properties of Cl then here are a few:
1. It belongs to "halogen compounds" family.
2. Cl atom has atomic number 17 (1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p5)
3. Since there is a lone electron in the outermost 'p' orbital (3p2x, 3p2y, 3p1z), it is highly reactive and combines readily with electron donor (electropositive compounds) compounds, usually hydrogen, alkali metals, alkali earth metals etc.
4. Cl- ion has a strong oxidizing property and chlorine compounds are generally employed for bleaching purposes.
The symbol for a chlorine atom is Cl.
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
The symbol for a chlorine atom is Cl.
A chlorine atom is more massive than a carbon atom. Chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.45 amu, while carbon has an atomic mass of 12.01 amu.
they form an ionic bond (:
The symbol for a chlorine atom is Cl.
An atom of chlorine has 17 protons, while an atom of sodium has 11 protons. Therefore, an atom of chlorine has 6 more protons than an atom of sodium.
A neutral atom of chlorine has 17 protons.
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
The chlorine atom is neutral.

A chlorine atom is more massive than a carbon atom. Chlorine has an atomic mass of 35.45 amu, while carbon has an atomic mass of 12.01 amu.
they form an ionic bond (:
When an electron is transferred from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom, the chlorine atom becomes a negatively charged ion because it gains one electron. This negatively charged ion is known as chloride ion.
There is 1 atom in hydrogen and 1 atom in chlorine.
they form an ionic bond (:
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
