What is cl4?

Cl4 is a chemical formula for the compound chlorine tetrafluoride, which consists of one chlorine atom and four fluorine atoms. It is a colorless gas with a pungent odor and is highly reactive and corrosive. Chlorine tetrafluoride is primarily used in the production of uranium hexafluoride, a compound critical to the nuclear industry. It is also used as an oxidizing agent in the chemical industry. Chlorine tetrafluoride can be highly dangerous and should be handled with extreme care due to its explosive nature, toxicity, and potential for rapid and severe burns. Its chemical properties make it an effective oxidizing agent and a strong fluorinating agent, which enables it to react with a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds.
