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.

What will be the charge for cl when it becomes ions?
The chlorine atom, (Cl) becomes the chloride ion (Cl^(-)) , a charge of '-1'.
Is it true that when salt formed by postively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions the charge on the salt becomes positive?
No. The compound salt is neither.
Ionic charge of chlorine?
Chlorine always forms ions of charge -1. However in its compounds, it also shows oxidation states of +1,+3,+5 and +7.
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 is the most common charge for Cl?
The chlorine atom typically becomes an ion with a charge of minus one.
What will be the charge for cl when it becomes ions?
The chlorine atom, (Cl) becomes the chloride ion (Cl^(-)) , a charge of '-1'.
Is it true that when salt formed by postively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chlorine ions the charge on the salt becomes positive?
No. The compound salt is neither.
In salt what is the nature of the bond between sodium and chlorine?
The bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic. The sodium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, or cation, with a charge of +1. The chlorine atom receives the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion, with a charge of -1. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.
When a chlorine atom ionizes. what does its charge become?
it become any Ions
What kinds of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is tranferred from one to the other?
Sodium becomes a cation and chlorine becomes an anion.
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 kind of ions do a sodium atom and a chlorine atom become when a valence electron is transferred 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 .
Ionic charge of chlorine?
Chlorine always forms ions of charge -1. However in its compounds, it also shows oxidation states of +1,+3,+5 and +7.
What charge does the chlorine ion have?
it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
Would chlorine fom a positive or a negative ion?
Chlorine will form a negative ion with a charge of -1 because it gains one electron to complete its octet.
What is chlorine in ion form?
An anion is a negatively charged ion. Chlorine, because it wants to "steal" or "borrow" an electron to achieve that "magic" inert gas electron configuration will be a negative or anion. The chlorine ion's "extra" electron will give it an overall negative charge. The anion of chlorine is written as Cl- by those who annote it in chemistry.
