None of them. Cl is the symbol for an atom of chlorine. If it were a compound there would be at least one other symbol, and the same applies to a polar molecule. If it were a negative ion it would be Cl- with the negative sign as a superscript. Chlorine doesn't form positive ions in normal circumstances, but it would be Cl+ , again with the charge as a superscript.
