It becomes an ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
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)
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.

it gains an electron d=D have a great day!
The atom that gains electron becomes an anion. The atom that loses electron becomes a cation.
The bond would be ionic.
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
