Chlorine typically gains one electron to form a stable chloride ion. This process involves the attraction of one electron.
A chlorine atom typically has 17 electrons in its electron cloud.
A charged chlorine atom, or a chlorine ion, would have gained or lost an electron. If it gained an electron, it would have a charge of -1. If it lost an electron, it would have a charge of +1.
This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a periodic table.
7
17 protons and 17 electrons in chlorine.
Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5. Each separated letter in that notation represents a distinct electron orbital. Therefore, there are 5 electron orbitals in chlorine.
-1
Chlorine can donate one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. It tends to form anions by gaining one electron to reach a full outer shell.
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
