Reaction of metal with Chlorine

Metals react with chlorine to form ionic chlorides.

2Na(s) + Cl2 (g) —–> 2 NaCl(s)

Ca (s) + Cl2 (g) —–> CaCl2

Mg (s) + Cl2 (g) —-> MgCl2

Reaction of Metals with Hydrogen

Most of the metals do not combine with hydrogen. Only a few reactive metals like sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium react with hydrogen to form metal hydrides.
