What happens to the electronic arrangement of a chlorine atom when it becomes a chlorine ion?
When a chlorine atom becomes a chlorine ion, it gains an electron to achieve a full outer electron shell. This results in the electron arrangement changing from 2,8,7 to 2,8,8, making it a negatively charged ion.
What does chlorine need to become stable?
A chlorine atom needs one additional electron in order to become stable.
How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminuim ion?
Three chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion in order to form the compound aluminum chloride. This results in a stable compound with a 1:3 ratio of aluminum to chlorine ions.
What is the difference among chlorine atoms chlorine molecules and chlorine ions?
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 will Chlorine loose or gain when it forms an Ion?
Chlorine will gain one electron in order to establish a full outer shell of electrons. Chlorine atoms have 7 valence electrons, but with one extra electron, it can establish a stable octet.

Can you consider aluminum chlorine calcium and potassium give up electrons to be stable?
The metals aluminum, calcium, and potassium will give up electrons to be stable. Chlorine is a nonmetal and it will gain an electron in an ionic bond in order to be stable.
What does chlorine need to become stable?
A chlorine atom needs one additional electron in order to become stable.
Why is chlorine is so reactive?
Chlorine's structure makes it very reactive (it is in group VII of the Periodic Table and therefore needs to gain one electron in order to become stable)!
What symbol represents a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
Cl - This means that Chlorine has an extra electron, so it's negative. Chlorine already has 7 electrons and in order to be stable, it only needs one more electron.
How can valence electron be determined?
actually valency is the combining capacity of atoms so to attain stable configuracy the lose or gain electrons for example chlorine has configuration of 2,8,1 so in order to attain stable configuracy they lose 1 electron.THIS is why we say chlorine has -1 as valency

What are elements that easily bond with chlorine?
I know sodium is one but I am still checking for the others. Someone said all but the noble gases.
A very stable electron arrangement in the outer energ level is characteristic what?
A filled valence shell is a very stable electron arrangement in the outer energy level. Atoms undergo chemical reactions in order to achieve a filled valence shell, which is usually 8 electrons, but for hydrogen, helium, lithium, and beryllium it is 2 electrons.
Why is chlorine diatomic?
A lone chlorine atom has 7 outer shell electrons, 1 electron short of a full outer shell of 8 electrons, which is stable. In order to achieve this full outer shell two chlorine atoms share a pair of electrons, with each atom contributing 1 electron to the pair. By sharing electrons in this manner the chlorine atoms achieve a full outer shell.
