The proper way to write symbols for elements, including Chlorine, is by using the element's chemical symbol, which is a one or two letter abbreviation. For Chlorine, the chemical symbol is Cl. It is important to always use the correct symbol when representing elements in scientific writing or notation. Additionally, the symbol should always be capitalized and written in a specific font, such as Times New Roman. It is also important to note that the symbol for an element is different from its atomic number, which is the number of protons in the element's nucleus. I recommend consulting a periodic table for accurate and up-to-date information on the symbols and atomic numbers of all elements.
