Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is a powder but it is not a chlorine.

Chlorine is an element and is a gas in its basic form (Cl2).

The word "chloride" indicated that you deal with the ionic (charged) (Cl-) form of chlorine.

Do not confuse "chlorine" and "chloride". The difference is huge ... in particular in practice. Cl2 (Chlorine) in poisonous and inhaled in some amount will kill you. NaCl (sodium chloride) you add as normal salt to your spaghetti.

There are some solid and fluid substances that will decompose easily and release chlorine gas. They should be handled with care, as already said, inhaling chlorine can be fatal.
