What symbol would represent a chlorine ion that has ionized to have a stable electron configuration?
In the compound dichloride there would be two chlorine atoms. This is because the compound dichloride is a binary covalent compound and these compound always follow the prefixs such as di, tri, mono, etc.
Generally, atoms would want to fulfill the octet rule: 8 electrons in the valence shell. This gives the atom a noble gas configuration and is seen as stable. Since the Chlorine atom is in group 7 of the periodic table, it "prefers" to gain one electron instead of losing 7 to attain the stable octet configuration.

Tetra stands for four. So there are four chlorine atoms in a tetrachloride.
Deca stands for 10. So there are ten chlorine atoms is decachloride.
To become stable. Without the sharing or "loaning" of electrons atoms would become very reactive. Pure sodium put into water would explode, but when sodium is combined with Chlorine, it produces Sodium Chloride (NaCl) otherwise known as common table salt.

Without atoms "bonding" together, there would be no universe. With no universe there would be no Earth. No Earth = No You, and therefore No You = No Question. Atoms bond together to form matter. Without this bond, we simply would not exist.
Because both Mn and Ca bond to two Chlorine atoms, not one. If there was only one the result would be a reactive ion not a stable compound.
No. If they did, they would be radioactive and unstable.
A chlorine atom wouldn't need to lose anything, but a chlorine ion would need to lose 1
