Chlorine is an element, but chlorine gas in it's pure state is a diatomic molecule, meaning it is two of the same atom covalently bonded. all halogen gases do this, plus a couple others. A good way to remember this is HOFBrINCl. Hydrogen, Oxygen, Florine, Bromine, Iodine, Nitrogen, and Chlorine. All of them ARE NEVER alone in their pure form, they are always diatomic.
