There is no chlorine chloride. The formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
A chlorine ion is monatomic ― it is just Cl-.
Negative ion. Cl-
A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
37, as the isotope is identified by its mass number.
The Formula is : Cl-
There is no chlorine chloride. The formula for a molecule of chlorine is Cl2.
The ions of the element Cl (chlorine) are called chloriDe, formula Cl-
The chemical formula for chlorite ion is ClO2- and the other oxy-anions of chlorine are (IUPAC names in parentheses); ClO- : Hypochlorite ion [ Chlorate(I) ion ] ClO3- : Chlorate ion [ Chlorate(V) ion ] ClO4- : Perchlorate ion [ Chlorate(VII) ion ]
Chlorine ion (particularly Chloride ion) is more stable than Chlorine molecule
The ion formed by chlorine is the "chloride" ion
A chlorine ion is monatomic ― it is just Cl-.
Negative ion. Cl-
A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
The valence of a monoatomic chlorine ion is 1 and its charge is -1.

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.
