Chlorine's atomic number is 17. That means that it has 17 protons, each one having a +1 charge. Assuming that the chlorine atom in question is electrically neutral, it must also have 17 electrons, each one having a charge of -1, in order for the total charge to add up to 0.
In ionic chlorine compounds, the ionic charge of chlorine is -1.
-1, but since there are two chlorines the charge is -2.

Chloride is an atom of chlorine with a -1 charge. The atomic symbol for chlorine is Cl. Since the symbol for monotomic ions is just the charge written after the atom's atomic symbol, the symbol for chloride is just Cl-.
when the chlorine atom gains an electron its charge becomes -1. this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomic number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1.

Chlorine is more electronegative than sulfur because by gaining an extra electron it is able to maximize the effective nuclear charge, therefore stabilizing it and giving it a noble gas arrangement.

The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
