Chloride
Cl- This is the symbol of a chlorine ion that gains one electron
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
It gains an electron
ion
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 readily gains an electron to form a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
Cl- This is the symbol of a chlorine ion that gains one electron
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
Ion. Any atom that loses or gains an electron becomes an ion.
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
Cl- This is the symbol of a chlorine ion that gains one electron
It gains an electron
it gains an electron
A negatively charged "ion".
The symbol used to represent the chloride ion formed when chlorine gains one electron is Cl-.
The process that changes a chlorine atom into a chloride ion is called ionization, where the chlorine atom gains one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration with a full outer shell. This results in the formation of a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
