positively charged cations surround each chlorine ion the most closely
There are 6 chloride ions surrounding each sodium ion, and 6 sodium ions around each chloride ion.
In a perfect lattice 6 sodium ions mutually surround each chloride ion.
Sodium (Na) has one valence electron and Chlorine has 7.
6 in a typical NaCl crystal.

Your phrasing is slightly off. It does not require ions to form sodium chloride; that compound is made from atoms of sodium and chlorine (one of each). Once the compound is formed, the sodium and chlorine then become ions, Na+ and Cl-.
The ions of the element Cl (chlorine) are called chloriDe, formula Cl-

The chloride ions lose a single electron each to become chlorine.
Potassium and chlorine atoms have the same charge, specifically 0. However, if one atom of each of these elements encounters an atom of the other, the potassium atom will transfer one of its electrons to the chlorine atom, leading to potassium ions and chloride ions, which do have opposite charges.
