Question

identifying elements
use the periodic table to identify the marked element as metal,
non - metal, or metalloid.
what type of element is chlorine, cl?
metalloid
metal
non - metal

Explanation:

Chlorine (Cl) is located in Group 17 (Halogens) of the periodic table. Non - metals are typically found on the right side of the periodic table. Chlorine has properties such as being a gas at room temperature, having high electronegativity, and forming negative ions (Cl⁻), which are characteristic of non - metals. Metalloids have properties intermediate between metals and non - metals (e.g., silicon), and metals are generally on the left side (e.g., sodium, iron) with properties like conductivity and malleability.

Answer:

non - metal
