in texas hold em, if there is an Ace of clubs, jack of clubs, 8 of clubs, and 2 of clubs on the table, and i have a 10 of clubs in my hand and my opponent has a queen of clubs, would he win or would it be split pot because the ace is the highest card?

In Texas Hold'em, a lot of folks forget that each person uses the best out of the 7 cards in front of them...
So, regardless of what you have in your hand, you have to look at the table cards:
Ac Jc 8c 2c [and a mystery card]
Your hand: 10c [and a mystery card]
So your hand, at this very moment is: Ac Jc 10c 8c 2c (Ace-Jack-10 flush)
Add in your opponent's hand: Ac Qc Jc 8c 2c (Ace-Queen-Jack flush)
Your opponent wins the pot. The only time the pot would split, would be if the table made up the best five-card hand for both players, so no one's hand would win.
----------------------
Here's an example, slightly modified from your situation, to one that would actually be a legit reason for a split:
Table : Ac Kc Jc 8c 6c
You: 5c [and a mystery card]
Opponent: 4c [and a mystery card]
Because the best five-card hand is on the table, you split the pot.
The gist of this answer -- The best FIVE-CARD HAND wins the pot in Texas Hold'Em. Period.

your opponent would win because its the best 5 card hand it would be ace queen jack 8 2/ to your ace jack 10 8 2.

The hand with the Queen of Clubs takes the hand

if the Queen is in his hand or hole cards he wins it goes to the NEXT highest club since you share the Ace he has the Queen and you have the TEN the QUEEN is the next highest non-community card

Your AJT82 of clubs would lose to AQJ82 of clubs because of the higher ranking of the cards.

the ace is a community card so it goes to the highest card in your hand so ............ in that case your opponent would win
