Well...it's just chlorine with 2 extra electrons. (4S1 is the new valence electron)
I seriously doubt you or anybody you know will ever observe that, though. If it's made an appearance in your homework, I can only assume your teacher is a bit of a sadist or just doesn't know a lot about chemistry.
The charge on X in XCl2 is +2. This is because chlorine typically has a -1 charge and since there are two chlorine atoms in XCl2, the total negative charge from chlorine is -2, therefore X must have a +2 charge to balance it out.
The Chlorine atom has the delta negative charge because it's more negative than carbon.
Chlorine's charge would be negative because it gained an electron, which results in it having an extra negative charge.
The chlorine atom in a carbon-chlorine bond is typically assigned the delta negative charge. This is because chlorine is more electronegative than carbon, leading to an uneven sharing of electrons in the bond, with the chlorine atom attracting electron density towards itself and developing a partial negative charge.
After chlorine accepts the electron from sodium, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.

it has 7 electrons in its outer shell, which means its charge is -1.
Chlorine typically has a charge of -1 when it forms an ion.
It is one negative (-)
The negative sign implies that chlorine has gained an electron, which chlorine will easily do in a chemical reaction. The negative charge means the electrons now outnumber the protons 18-17, hence the negative 1 charge. (remember, electrons are negative.)
The chloride ion has a negative charge of -1.
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
A "cation" carries positive (+) charge. An "anion" caries a negative (-) charge. The charge carried in may be single or multiple.
