Best Answer

The two aren't really comparable in a "what is the difference" sense, because they sort of but not really overlap.

A gas is something that is in the gas phase. I know that's a little circular, but there you have it. Gases have no definite shape or volume.

An element is something that is composed entirely of atoms having the same number of protons.

Elements can be gaseous (and all elements are gaseous at a high enough temperature and low enough pressure).

Is the covalent bond between chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas polar?

No. Bonds between atoms of the same element are nonpolar. The electronegativity difference between the two atoms is zero, which indicates that the bond is nonpolar.
