In my chemistry text it says that '2Cl represents 2 atoms of Chlorine' But 1mol of Cl has 6.02x10^23 atoms

How could 2Cl only represent only 2 atoms?

 

Tnx

ok, so 2Cl means that you have two atoms of chlorine. If u like, the units of the 2 are atoms. The number two here is NOT saying you have 2moles of Cl; is it saying you have two atoms of chlorine.

Could you clarify it a bit?

And yes it says that it has only 2 atoms of chlorine or take 2Fe because chlorine's nature is in molecular form-- Cl2

Same answer. You don't ask for 2mol Fe but for 2Fe which means 2 atoms of iron.
