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.

Is chlorine a non - metallic compound?
Chlorine is a nonmetal but its is an element, not a compound.
Is chlorine a element or compound or a mixture?
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.
Is chlorine classified as a metalloid?
Chlorine is not a metalloid. It is a non metal.
