It becomes an anion, Cl-
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
chlorine is a group seven element with outmost energy level lacking only one electron, thus is not stable. when it gains this electron, it gets an octet electron structure(8 e in the vallency shell) this makes it very stable in the enviroment; the reason why chlorine molecule exists due to its stable atoms but chlorine atom does not exist in nature
positively
When chlorine gains one electron, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge.
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
When a chlorine atom gains one electron, it forms a chloride ion with a single negative charge.
Chlorine readily gains an electron to form a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
in sodium chloride chlorine gains an electron and the bond formed between then is ionic.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a chloride ion. This extra electron fills its outer shell, giving it a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas. Chloride ions commonly combine with sodium ions to form salt, sodium chloride.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as chloride ion (Cl-). This ion has a full outer energy level and is more stable than the neutral chlorine atom.
