Is chlorine found in its elemental state or combined with other elements?

Chlorine is never found free in nature. It is always combined with another or other elements into compounds. Chlorine is highly reactive, and it wants to borrow an electron from just anything it can get close to. In general, it actually wants to "steal" that electron to form an ionic bond, and sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt, is one example of a common chlorine compound.
