SUMMARY
The proper way to write symbols for elements, including Chlorine, is to use the standardized one- or two-letter abbreviations defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Chlorine is represented by the symbol "Cl". The first letter is always capitalized, and if there is a second letter, it is in lowercase. This convention applies universally across the periodic table for all chemical elements.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of the periodic table of elements
- Familiarity with IUPAC nomenclature
