18
A chlorine anion has gained one electron, resulting in a total of 18 electrons. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, but gaining one electron makes it negatively charged, with a total of 18 electrons in the anion.
The chloride ion (Cl-) has 8 electrons on the outermost energy level.
When Chlorine is in its ionized state, it gains one electron to become a chloride ion (Cl-). Therefore, in its ionized state, Chlorine has 18 electrons in total.
A chlorine atom has 17 electrons (7 in the outer shell) and has no electrical charge and will easily gain an electron to form a chloride ion.A chloride ion has 18 electrons (8 in the outer shell) and has a charge of -1.
There are 8 electrons in the outermost energy level of a chloride ion (Cl-) in table salt. This is because chlorine has 7 electrons in its neutral state, and when it gains an electron to become Cl-, it has a full outer shell with 8 electrons.
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons. A chloride ion has 8.
Chlorine gains one electron when it forms an ion, becoming a chloride ion with a negative charge.
A chloride ion has gained one electron to become a Cl- ion, making it uncharged overall but with 18 electrons to match the 17 protons in its nucleus.
In the question, it should be either "chlorine atom" or "chloride ion". Chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons. Chloride ion has 8 valence electrons.
Chlorine has 17 protons and an atom of Chlorine would have 17 electrons. However a Chloride Ion will have one more electron ie 18 electrons and will be negatively charged.
A chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons, as it is in group 17 of the periodic table. A chloride ion has 8 valence electrons, as it gains an additional electron to achieve a full octet and a stable electron configuration.
In most of its compounds chlorine forms just one bond, so it has six nonbonding electrons.
Barium gives its two electrons to two chlorine atoms (to form chloride ions) and they form an ionic compound barium chloride.
In a chloride ion (Cl^-), the most common oxidation state for chlorine, there are 8 electrons in the outermost energy level. This is because chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and it gains an additional electron to form the chloride ion, giving it a full outer shell with 8 electrons (octet rule).
A chlorine anion has gained one electron, resulting in a total of 18 electrons. A neutral chlorine atom has 17 electrons, but gaining one electron makes it negatively charged, with a total of 18 electrons in the anion.
Cl- has 8 valence electrons. This is because chlorine, in its neutral state, has 7 valence electrons (group 17), and the -1 charge of the chloride ion indicates the addition of an extra electron.
Chlorine atom has 17 electrons. It is readily accepting an electron from another atom to obtain its stable electron configuration (of argon). A chloride ion has 18 electrons.
