When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
Why does a chlorine atom gain an electron when it forms an ion?
Atoms that gain extra electrons become negatively charged. A neutral chlorine atom.
What kind of ion does sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transformed from one to another?
Na+ and Cl- ions are formed, which then results in the formation of the ionic compound NaCl.
What happens when chlorine gains an extra electron on the outer shell?
It becomes a negative ion.
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one to the other?
when sodium valence electron is transferred to chlorine , both atoms become ions . the sodium atom becomes a positive ion . the chlorine atom becomes a negative ion .

What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred from one the the other?
The sodium atom becomes a sodium cation, and the chlorine atom becomes a chloride anion.
What does chlorine need to become stable?
A chlorine atom needs one additional electron in order to become stable.
If chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become a?
positively

If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become charged.?
positively
What kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valance electron is transferred one to the other?
First off sodium. Sodium is an alkali metal and when alkali metals react they lose an electron. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged. Chlorine is in the halogen family and when they react they gain one electron, when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative charged. So, Sodium=Positive Chlorine=Negative I got this as an homework question yesterday, took like 5mins but i finally figured it out :)
How are chloride ions made?
When chlorine gain an electron become the anion Cl-.
How does chlorine satisfy its outermost shell?
It gains one electron to become Cl^-.
What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
