Well, sweetheart, Chlorine gas is actually a diatomic molecule composed of two Chlorine atoms bonded together by a polar covalent bond. So, technically, yes, Chlorine gas is a polar covalent compound. But hey, don't go sniffing it thinking it's all rainbows and butterflies - that stuff is toxic as hell.
