Actually Chlorine is the second member of the halogen family(GrVII), so it is collected from the sea salt (e.g. NaCl) via electrolysis and some other separation technique.
N.B: On Electrolysis, NaCl solution produces Hydrogen(H2) and Chlorine (Cl2), not Na & Cl2. If you wanna get Na & Cl2 from the electrolysis of NaCl it must be in molten state.

Chlorine is an element.
The element with an atomic mass of 35.453 is chlorine. It is a halogen and has the atomic number 17.
No, Chlorine is an element.
CL is not an element; it is the symbol for chlorine, which is a chemical element with atomic number 17.
Cl, chlorine is an element, Cl2 is the molecular form of the element. When 'free' chlorine is so reactive that it will react with itself to form diatomic (2 atoms) molecules, but it is still an element.
The element with an atomic mass of 35.453 is chlorine.
Chlorine is an element. It is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17 on the periodic table. It exists as a diatomic molecule in its natural state.

No. Chlorine is a chemical element.
Chlorine is a chemical element.
Chlorine is an element on the periodic table. If you look, its average atomic mass is 35.5 amus. It would be a compound if it was 'connected' with another element, ie Hydrogen. HCl is considered a compound, but chlorine (Cl) alone is just an element.
The element with an atomic weight of 35.453 is chlorine (Cl).
