With metals
Besides the above reactions of chlorine with metals, chlorine also undergoes addition reactions with heated metals like aluminium, zinc, iron, etc. to form their chlorides. Metals with variable valencies always form the chloride of the higher metallic valency.


With non-metals
When dry chlorine is passed through molten sulphur it combines with sulphur to form vapors of sulphur monochloride S2Cl2. When these vapors are condensed, they form a red liquid (Fig.14.11).
