Chlorine typically forms an anion with a charge of -1 by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons.
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-.
The ion formed by chlorine is the "chloride" ion
Cl2 is a molecule formed of 2 atoms of Chlorine.
A chloride ion is a chlorine atom that has gained one electron, and as such has developed a charge of -1.
A covalent bond is formed between the two chlorine atoms in a Chlorine molecule. They share electrons to complete their outer electron shells and become more stable.

The ternary acid formed with chlorine that has the fewest oxygen atoms is hypochlorous acid (HClO).
Hypochlorous acid (HClO) is the ternary acid formed with chlorine that has the fewest oxygen atoms.
Chlorine gas has a charge of zero because it is made up of neutral chlorine molecules, each consisting of two chlorine atoms sharing electrons equally.
None. Atoms are uncharged.
Table salt is formed when sodium atoms and chlorine atoms react to form ions.Sodium atoms have 11 electrons and chlorine atoms have 17. In order to have a stable octet ( a full outer shell), the Sodium atom must lose one electron and the Chlorine atom must gain 1.If the sodium atom gives one electron to chlorine, they will both be stable.This is how table salt is formed.
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 atoms would become negatively charged because they would gain electrons from the calcium atoms, resulting in an excess of electrons and a net negative charge.
