Why is chlorine,Cl2, quite soluble in water ? It cannot form hydrogen bonds or dipole interactions with water

yet it can dissolve quite well in water.

If chlorine gas is produced, it dissolves in water pretty well to form a pale yellow solution. I've seen it myself. But the question is why? Hydrogen bonds? Dipole interactions?

tt can't be dispersion forces because they are not significant enough to contribute to the relatively high solubility.

Thanks fo helping.

The thing with chlorine is that it doesn't just dissolve but also react with water; if you bubble chlorine gas through water, what you get is a solution containing some dissolved chlorine gas, but also hydrochloric acid and hypochloric acid, formed according to the following disproportionation reaction:

Cl2 + H2O -> HCl + HClO

This reaction forms kind of a "sink" for elemental chlorine, as it forms other, more soluble substances. You can even increase the overall solubility if you promote the formation of these substances in some way, e.g. by adding some base to the water:

Cl2 + 2 OH- -> ClO- + Cl- + H2O
