You'd still have poisonous chlorine gas, and it would be as toxic as it was before you added the neutron. But there is more news, and it's bad. By adding a neutron to each of the atoms, you'd end up with unstable isotopes of chlorine, which means that all your chlorine gas is now radioactive and presents a radiation hazard as well as being as poisonous as it was originally.

It becomes Argon! A chlorine atom can only have 17 protons; no more, no less!

Added:

Chlorine has atom number ( = proton number) 17. Adding one proton to its nucleus one should get atom number 18 ( = proton number 17 + 1), which happens to be an Argon cation, Ar+. I've no idea if this is possible and how it can be done, but theoretically it is correct.

When chlorine gas receives an additional electron it will become negative. Anytime an atom receives another atom the charge will be negative.

Is chlorine bad for you?

As it is commonly found in pools - No. It can be toxic if inhaled or exposed on high concentrations. One way this sometimes happens at home and by accident is if people stand by the edge of the pool and pour a large amount of chlorine into the water. Dangerous chlorine gas vapors can rise from the water and cause unconsciousness and drowning if the person happens to fall forward into the pool. This generally requires standing in one position for a long time, often hunched over the pool, while a lot of chlorine is added to the water.
