Chlorine is a non-metal. It is found in group 7 of the Periodic Table of elements and has electronic configuration [Ne] 3s2 3p5.
chlorine forms ionic compounds with metals and covalent compounds with non-metals.
Chlorine can form both ionic and covalent bonds, with metals and non-metals respectively.
Sodium, copper and aluminum are all metals. Chlorine is not a metal.
It is non-metals because if we look at the elements that it can consists of which are carbon (C), chlorine (Cl2), and fluorine (F2); They are all non-metals therefore chlorofluorocarbons are non-metals.
Sulphur (S) and Chlorine (CL)
Fluorine , Bromine , Iodine are similar to chlorine. They are non-metals placed in group-17.
Hydrogen, Oxygen , Phosphorous, carbon, nitrogen, fluorine, neon, helium, chlorine and sulfur are all non-metals. they are all gases.
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF Non-metals1-Outer shells contains four or more electrons.(and Chlorine contain in outer shell 5 electrons).2-Form ionic compounds with metals and molecular (covalent) compounds with other nonmetals.( -Chlorine Form ionic compound with metals, e.g. NaCl Sodium chloride . - And Chlorine Form covalent compound with otherNon-metals, e.g. CCl4, HCl
No, fluorine, chlorine, and iodine are not metals. They belong to the halogen group in the periodic table and are nonmetals. They are highly reactive elements that readily form compounds with other elements.
no, because it is a non-metal and only metals can form alloys
non-metals like chlorine, bromine etc.
Chlorine is classified as a non-metal because it has high electronegativity, meaning it readily gains electrons to form negative ions, which is a characteristic behavior of non-metals. Additionally, chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule (Cl₂) in its gaseous state at room temperature, reflecting the typical properties of non-metals, which often exist as gases or brittle solids rather than as conductive metals.
