Chlorine = Oxidizing Gas & NaCl = Common Salt

Explanation:

• Chlorine is an element that is a highly oxidizing gas
• Sodium chloride is a salt that is made up of two elements sodium(Na) and chlorine(Cl)

Two ways in which sodium chloride is different from chloride are -

• Sodium is a very reactive metal and chlorine is a poisonous gas
• Sodium is an electron-rich metal and has a tendency to donate electrons while chlorine is an oxidizing gas having tendency to accept electrons
• NaCl, a compound of a metal and a non-metal that is salt is formed by putting both these parent atoms together that do not have any property of the parent atoms
