Chlorine smells in the air because it forms a compound of the bleaching powder.

In the powdered form, the chlorine is exposed to the air. As soon as it is exposed in the open, the substance becomes wet due to the presence of moisture.

The smell of the chlorine is activated and it diffuses into the atmosphere.
