Sodium Hypochlorite is the main element in bleach
Not usually, but the closely similar element chlorine often is.
Halogen elements are part of Group XVII. They have seven electrons in their outer shell. The halogen that is most associated with bleach is chlorine.
Three elements are found in bleach. They are chlorine, oxygen and a metal cation.( calcium/sodium). It is the chlorine that gives bleach its distinctive smell.
No, bleach is a chemical cleaning product that often contains sodium hypochlorite as the active ingredient, whereas chlorine is a chemical element. However, sodium hypochlorite is a compound derived from chlorine, so bleach does contain chlorine but they are not exactly the same.
Bleach can be a pure substance, but it is often not. Pure bleach is called hydrochloride. When you buy bleach to use at home, it is a mixture, not pure bleach.
Bleach, as retailed, is usually a mixture.
For example sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is a bleach compund.
Chlorine is the element that smells like bleach. When in contact with water, chlorine forms hypochlorous acid, which is a common component of bleach and is responsible for its distinctive smell.

Its Chlorine.
Chlorine. A molecule of chlorine has the ability to disproportionate in water. That is it simultaneously oxidises and reduces. Cl2 = Cl-Cl = Cl^(-) + Cl^(+) Disproportionation). Cl2 + H2O = HCl(reduced) + HClO(oxidised). At a water treatment plant, chlorine gas is bubbled through water, in order to act as a bacteriocide, so the water is drinkable/potable. Household water contains minute traces of hydrochloric acid(HCl) and hypochlorous acid(HClO). It is the hypochlorous radical 'ClO^(-)' that is found in bleach. (NaClO or Ca(ClO)2

Sodium hypochlorinate ..same a chlorine
Chlorine
Three elements are found in bleach. They are chlorine, oxygen and a metal cation.( calcium/sodium). It is the chlorine that gives bleach its distinctive smell.
Bleach is not an element, and therefore is not in the periodic table at all. One of the most common bleaches is a solution of NaClO (sodium hypochlorite) in water.
Chlorine . The name chlorine comes from Classical Greek. ; 'Chlorus' means 'green'.
