I'm almost certain it's a positive charge. I can't remember if it gains or gives electrodes. If it gives electrodes it's positive, if it gains electrodes it's negative Hope this helps :)
It really doesn't, please don't try to help if you're "almost certain" especially since you are wrong about pretty much everything in that statement. Chloride ion is Cl^- meaning it has a negative charge or it receives electrons. Also remember that it's ELECTRONS not electrodes.

What will be the charge for chlorine when it becomes ions?
A chlorine ion will have a charge of -1. A chlorine atom gains one electron to form the more stable chloride ion, thereby incurring a charge of -1. There is now one more electron than proton in the chloride ion, as compared to the chlorine atom which is electrically neutral.
How many chloride ions are present in a formula unit of magnesium chloride given the charge on a mg ion is 2 plus?
Chloride ions have a charge of 1-. Since the charge on an Mg ion is 2+, the formula unit of Magnesium Chloride is MgCl2. There are 2 chloride ions for each Mg ion.
