No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged.

What happenes when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
When chlorine gains an electron what achieves a complete octet?
when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases
What happened to the energyof an electron as it goes farther from the nucleus?
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
How many electrons does chlorine gain to make a noble gas?
Chlorine gains 1 electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon.
What happens when chlorine gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atoms gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shells?
It becomes a negative ion.
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 happens when chlorine gains an extra electron?
It becomes negative
What happens when a electron moves to higher energy level?
The electron gains energy.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its valence shell?
It becomes an ion.
What happens when an electron moves to a higher level?
The electron gains energy.
What happends when chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes an anion, Cl-
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
What happens when a chlorine atom gains electron in its outer energy shell?
When a chlorine atom, which normally has 7 electrons in the valence shell, gains an electron, it achieves a stable state similar to the noble gas, having 8 electrons in the outer shell. This results in the formation of the chloride ion, Cl-.
