chloride
Whenever an ionic bond is formed the name of said molecule always begins with the name of the metallic element and ends with the name of the non-mettalic element ending with -ide. For example; sodium chloride.
Usually you would name chlorine as an element, and not an atom. An element has atoms, and there can be a chlorine atom. But according to terminology, you would name it as an element.
Sodium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
The reaction between 1-butene and chlorine gas is called chlorination. This reaction involves the substitution of a hydrogen atom in 1-butene with a chlorine atom to form a chlorinated product.
Bromine (Br) forms a anion (negative charge) because it is a halogen, and it gains 1 electron. However, when it gains that electron (Br)- its name changes to Bromide ion.
If an ion gains an electron that means the ion will be negatively charged.The name of that ion is called anion. On the other hand, if it loses and electron the ion will be positively charged, and the name of that ion is called cation.

It is an ION Answer: Yes it is an Ion, but no, it is formally called an Anion. Because it gained an electron it has become negatively charged. If it loses an electron it becomes a cation.
Whenever an ionic bond is formed the name of said molecule always begins with the name of the metallic element and ends with the name of the non-mettalic element ending with -ide. For example; sodium chloride.
When a nitrogen atom gains an electron, it becomes a nitride ion (N^{3-}) with a (3-) charge.
Usually you would name chlorine as an element, and not an atom. An element has atoms, and there can be a chlorine atom. But according to terminology, you would name it as an element.
The end of a chemical name is changed to distinguish an anion from its atom by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element's name when it forms an anion. This naming convention helps to indicate the difference between the neutral atom and the negatively charged ion. For example, chlorine becomes chloride when it gains an electron to form an anion.
The part of the atom that has a negative charge is the electron. Electrons are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus of an atom and contribute to the atom's overall negative charge.
The name of a cation in an atom is electron. Cation refers to an ion of negative charge. Since electron is also of the same charge, the cation is electron.

Electrons are the particles that circle the nucleus of an atom.
This depends on whether the atom is by itself or whether it's part of a molecule (attached set of atoms). If it is by itself, after the atom gains (or loses) an electron it has an electrical charge. An atom with a charge is called an "ion" and you can say that it was "ionized." If it is in a molecule that has a chemical reaction with another molecule causing the atom in the first molecule to gain an electron, that process is called "reduction," and the atom that gained an electron is said to have been "reduced." If the atom lost an electron in the reaction, that is called "oxidation" and the the atom was "oxidized." (Note that "oxidation" in regular chemistry doesn't necessarily mean that oxygen was involved, even though it sounds that way.)
