What happens when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy?
No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged. Cl(-)

What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in it's outer energy shell?
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in to its outer most energy shell ( reduction) it becomes the chloride anion. Cl(g) + e^- = Cl^-(g)
What happen when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
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
