Usually you would name chlorine as an element, and not an atom. An element has atoms, and there can be a chlorine atom. But according to terminology, you would name it as an element.

∙ 9y agoNo, the element chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule. This means that in each chlorine molecule there are two chlorine atoms joined together by covalent bonds. The term chloride refers to the ion that is formed when a chlorine atom gains an electron to complete its outer shell electronic configuration.
No, chlorine exists as diatomic molecules. It is a gas at room temperature. It is yellow-green in colour.

Is sulfur hexafluoride a monatomic ion?
Sulfur hexafluoride is not a monatomic ion but in fact a molecular compound.
How many electrons does a chlorine ion have?
A chlorine ion is monatomic ― it is just Cl-.
Is chlorine a molecular compound?
No. It's a molecular element.
Does oxygen have a greater mass than chlorine?
Atomic oxygen does not have a greater atomic mass than chlorine, nor does molecular oxygen. The atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35 g/mol, while molecular (O2) oxygen has a molecular mass of 32 g/mol.
Do Chlorine and Oxygen form an ionic compound?
No. There are several compounds of chlorine and oxygen, but all of them are molecular.
Is pure water monatomic molecular or lattice?
monatomic
Is gold monatomic molecular or lattice?
monatomic
Is sulfur hexafluoride a monatomic ion?
Sulfur hexafluoride is not a monatomic ion but in fact a molecular compound.
Is chlorine a monatomic at room temperature?
No, chlorine typically exists as a diatomic molecule at room temperature. Monatomic chlorine is a free radical and is very reactive. Thus, chlorine atoms in elemental chlorine are almost always bonded to one another under typical conditions.
How many electrons does a chlorine ion have?
A chlorine ion is monatomic ― it is just Cl-.
Is chlorine a molecular compound?
No. It's a molecular element.
Is chlorine molecular ionic or metallic?
The element chlorine at standard temperature and pressure is molecular and has the formula Cl2.
What are found uncombined as monatomic species in nature?
Halogens are found in nature as a monatomic species ex. Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Chlorine, Bromine, ect.
Can a person breathe oxygen in its non molecular form?
No. Monatomic oxygen is too reactive for our bodies.
Is chlorine gas a molecular compound?
No. It's a molecular element.
Why is the term molecular mass inappropriate for NaCl?
Because salt form large lattices of atoms not a simple molecule.
What is the molecular mass of Cl 2?
The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5. A chlorine molecule has two chlorine atoms. Therefore its molecular mass is 71u.
