Answer:

Out of the electron dot structure, 3 D model or the structural formula, the reactivity of the chlorine gas is best noted by the electron dot structure.

The dot structure of chlorine describes the valency of the atom and highlights the fact that it contains 7 electrons to react with other electrons. It is an electronegative atom and shows a high oxidizing property.  

The electron dot structure for chlorine is described below
