Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
yes chloride ion is stable coz its octet is complete.
Cl-
Chlorine ion is more stable because it has got the maximum number(8) of electrons possible in its valence shell, it is known as the octet. When an ion achieves octet, it has got the electronic configuration of a noble gas, which is inert and very stable.
Yes because chlorine molecules bond to themselves to become more stable.
A neutral chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons and needs one more valence electron in order to be stable with an octet. A chlorine molecule consists of two chlorine atoms that have formed a covalent bond between them, so that each chlorine atom effectively has an octet of valence electrons, which makes the chlorine atoms stable. A chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained an electron, becoming a charged particle with a charge of 1-.

What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.

A chlorine radical is simply Cl. with no charge but free electrons wanting to bond. A Cl atom basically. A chlorine molecule is Cl2 (two atoms bonded covalently). A chloride ion is Cl-. Many people confuse an ion with a radical. They are not the same.
Cl-1.
There is no chlorine chloride. The formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
