What is the difference between the chlorine ion and the chlorate ion?

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.
