It has 7 valence electrons.
The chlorine ion is in group 7 so it has a charge of -1.
The charge on a chloride ion in AlCl3 is -1. This is because aluminum typically has a +3 charge in ionic compounds, so in order for the compound to be neutral overall, each chloride ion must have a charge of -1.
An anion is a negatively charged ion. Chlorine, because it wants to "steal" or "borrow" an electron to achieve that "magic" inert gas electron configuration will be a negative or anion. The chlorine ion's "extra" electron will give it an overall negative charge. The anion of chlorine is written as Cl- by those who annote it in chemistry.
Since chlorine is one of the 7 diatomics, it is Cl₂. Seven Diatomics: H₂, I₂, Br₂, Cl₂, O₂, F₂, N₂ Chloride ion = neg. 1 Chlorine= Cl2 = neutral
An atom is a neutral particle with the same number of protons as electrons. Ions are particles that have either more or less electrons. Ions can be positively charged (cations) or negatively charged. Ions will lose or gain electrons in order to have eight outer shell electrons. A chlorine atom has 17 electrons and 7 valence electrons (outer shell). It "wants" to have eight valence electrons, so it will gain one. Therefore, the typical chlorine atom will have one electron more.

Three chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion to form the compound aluminum chloride. This is because aluminum has a 3+ charge and chlorine has a 1- charge, so the formula for aluminum chloride is AlCl3.
One. A hydrogen ion (H+) has a +1 charge, and a chloride ion has a -1 charge, Cl-, so they combine in a 1-to-1 ratio to form a neutral compound, HCl or hydrochloric acid.

The formula for silver plus one ion and chlorine is AgCl. Silver has a +1 charge (Ag+) and chlorine has a -1 charge (Cl-), so they combine in a 1:1 ratio to form the compound silver chloride.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. So it gains an electron to get noble gas configuration. Therefor Cl makes ions with a charge of -1.
The valency of a barium ion is +2. Barium chloride (BaCl2) consists of a barium ion (Ba^2+) and two chloride ions (Cl^-), which gives the overall compound a neutral charge.
Chlorine has a tendency to acquire an additional electron in order to complete its outer electron shell, so in an ionic compound it will form an ion with a charge of minus one. However, the chlorine atom is not negative, it is neutral, like all atoms. It only becomes negative when it becomes an ion.
Sulfur monoxide is a gaseous compound, NOT an ion; hence it has NO charge.
I think you mean 'IONIC' ; Not 'iconic'; note the spelling. Chlorine becomes the chloride ion by gaining one electron. Its symbol is 'Cl^-' A negative ion is an 'ANION'. So it could be described as the 'Chloride anion'. NB If an ion carries a positive charge it is a 'CATION'. NNB The Chlorine atom contains #1 ; 17 protons ( 17 +). #2 ; 18(or 20) neutrons (zero charge). Depending on isotopic mass #3 ; 17 electrons ( 17 - ) When it gains an electron to become the anion then the atom is no longer an atom, but an ion, which contains #1 ; 17 protons ( 17 +). #2 ; 18(or 20) neutrons (zero charge). #3 ; 18 electrons ( 18 - ) Since we now have 17+ & 18 - the net difference is '-1' , Which is shown on the ion as 'Cl^-'. Hope that helps!!!!
