Answer: Because water has a high specific heat capacity due to the hydrogen bonding within the H₂O molecules ; so it takes a great deal of energy, or heat, to break these bonds— or to form them.

A redox reaction --> a reaction whereby oxidation & reduction occurs
Reduction:
Charge of Cl2 = 0
Charge of Cl- in NaCl = -1
Hence, since charge of Cl2 decreased from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl, reduction occured.
Oxidation:
Charge of Na = 0
Charge of Na+ in NaCl = +1
Hence, since charge of Na increased from 0 in Na to +1 in NaCl, oxidation occured.
Since both oxidation & reduction occured in the reaction, it is a redox reaction.
It is going to be reaction of neutralization, and water and salt will be formed. If acid and base are strong, the reaction of the solution should become neutral.
Group 18 is the only group in periodic table in which all the elements are nonmetals. This group contains F, Cl, Br, I and At and also the other name of this group is halogen which means salt producer.
