Neither hydrogen nor chlorine is generally considered a metal in chemistry. Hydrogen can be forced to behave like a metal at extremely low temperatures approaching absolute zero, which is of greater relevence to physicists. In astronomy, any element heavier than helium is called a metal, so chlorine would be a metal by that standard.

Neither is a metal. At very low temperatures hydrogen might act as a metal. Chlorine is a clear non-metal.

None of these is a metal, however hydrogen can behave as a metal at lower temperature. But chlorine is certainly not a metal.

Neither one is a metal. They are both gases

Both are gases, not metals.
