Chloramine is a mixture of chlorine and ammonia

It is nothing of the sort.

Chloramines are ammonia derivatives, in which one or more hydrogen
atoms have been replaced by chlorine atoms.

Stick to subjects you know something about; this isn't one of them.
I should have said "basically".

noun
any of several compounds containing chlorine and nitrogen; used as an
antiseptic in wounds [syn: chloramine]

And I AM correct.

No, you're not.

Chloramine(s)
Definition:
A class of amines, chloramines are produced when ammonia and chlorine
(as hypochlorous acid) react with each other.

That's not at all the same thing as "a mixture of" the two.
No? If you mix them they react. You get Chloamines as a byproduct of
the reaction.
