1. Sodium hypochlorite

   Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula NaOCl or NaClO, comprising a sodium cation (Na+) and a hypochlorite anion (OCl−or ClO−). It may also be viewed as the sodium salt of hypochlorous acid. The anhydrous compound is unstable and may decompose explosively. It can be crystallized as a pentahydrate NaOCl·5H2O, a pale greenish-yellow solid which is not explosive and is stable if kept refrigerated.Sodium hypochlorite is most often encountered as a pale greenish-yellow dilute solution commonly known as liquid bleach or simply bleach, a household chemical widely used (since the 18th century) as a disinfectant or a bleaching agent. The compound in solution is unstable and easily decomposes, liberating chlorine, which is the active principle of such products. Indeed, sodium hypochlorite is the oldest and still most important chlorine-based bleach.While sodium hypochlorite is non-toxic, its corrosive properties, common availability, and reaction products make it a significant safety risk. In particular, mixing liquid bleach with other cleaning products, such as acids or ammonia, may produce toxic fumes.

1. sodium hypochlorite

   Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical compound with the formula NaClO. It is a widely used disinfectant and bleaching agent. Sodium hypochlorite appears as a greenish-yellow liquid, and it is the active ingredient in common household bleach products. It is also used in water purification, sanitation, and cleaning products due to its ability to kill bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It breaks down rapidly in the environment into salt and oxygen, and thus does not persist for a long time.
