    		From a chemical standpoint, chlorine bleach is sodium hypochlorite.

    Chlorine is a gas that takes the form Cl2. Both of them will burn you, though.

    I have a container which originally held 500 grams of what the label claims to be "finest table salt" - pretty much pure sodium chloride. Yet, out of every 100 grams in the container, only 39 grams are sodium. Since a molecule of table salt is made up of an equal number of sodium and chlorine atoms, this leads me to believe that chlorine is a much heavier element than sodium. Is that really true?
