Question

is chlorine is a metal

Answer 1

no chlorine is non metal

Answer 2

No! chlorine is not a metal, it is a non metal. If you ask why, then the answer for this question lies in definition of metal & non metal

METAL:The elements which have 3 or less than 3 electrons in the outermost shell are called metals.

Non metal : The elements which have 4 or more than 4 electrons in the outermost shell are called non metals.

As chlorine has more than 4 electrons in the outermost shell (7 electrons) ,hence it is a non metal.
