when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases

What does chlorine become when it gains one valence electron?
A negatively charged "ion".
What charge does the Na and CI atoms acquire when they react?
Sodium loses one electron, therefore Na+ Chlorine gains an electron, therefore Cl-
What happenes when a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell?
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
What happens when a chlorine atom gains electron in its outer energy shell?
When a chlorine atom, which normally has 7 electrons in the valence shell, gains an electron, it achieves a stable state similar to the noble gas, having 8 electrons in the outer shell. This results in the formation of the chloride ion, Cl-.
What element can become stable by using one electron hydrogen farogen sodium nitrogen oxygen or chlorine?
Farogen is not an elemnt known to science. The element that can use one electron is chlorine, which achieves the octete when it gains an electron. hydrogen becomes the hydride ion with a stabel duet (He configutaration) Sodium can lose one electron to acheive the octet.
When chlorine gains one electron what kind of ion is it?

In soduim chloride does chlorine gain or loose an electron?
in sodium chloride chlorine gains an electron and the bond formed between then is ionic.
When chlorine become's an ion what will happen?
