Recall the general classification of elements on the periodic table: metals, nonmetals, metalloids, and noble gases.
Locate chlorine (Cl) on the periodic table. It is found in group 17, which is known as the halogen group.
Understand that halogens are a group of nonmetal elements characterized by high electronegativity and reactivity.
Recognize that noble gases are in group 18 and are inert gases, which chlorine is not part of.
Conclude that since chlorine is a halogen and shares properties typical of nonmetals, it is classified as a nonmetal.
