The electronic configuration of chlorine, Cl is [Ne] 3s2 3p5. The Cl atom needs to gain an electron to attain the stable octet structure or noble gas configuration. Thus it has a tendency to draw electrons toward itself (it has high electronegativity). Non-metallic elements are short of electrons and gain or share them from other elements through the different types of bonding.
Cl (chlorine) is classified as a nonmetal. Al (aluminum), Si (silicon), and Cl (chlorine) are located in different areas of the periodic table: aluminum is a metal, silicon is a metalloid, and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Chlorine is a NON-METAL. As STP it is a green gas.
No. Chlorine is a main group element, but is a nonmetal in the halogen family (group 17).
The nonmetal family
No, silver chloride is a compound, so the terms, metal and nonmetal don't apply to it.
nonmetal
it's a non-metal
No; chlorine is a nonmetal and a halogen.
See the definition of a metal and properties of chlorine.
Chloride is a term used for salts. Chlorine is a chemical element, nonmetallic.
Cl (chlorine) is classified as a nonmetal. Al (aluminum), Si (silicon), and Cl (chlorine) are located in different areas of the periodic table: aluminum is a metal, silicon is a metalloid, and chlorine is a nonmetal.

Chlorine is a nonmetal. Do you think they put metal in swimming pool water?
Chlorine is definitely a non metallic element.
