When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
an ion. If a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-) and if it loses an electron, it becomes a positively charged chlorine cation (Cl+).
When a chlorine atom gains one electron, it forms a chloride ion with a single negative charge.
when the chlorine atom gains an electron its charge becomes -1. this is because the total number of electrons for chlorine is now 18. protons and electrons have the same atomic number, but when a chlorine ion forms it has one extra electron compared to the number of protons therefore giving it a negative charge of 1.
Chlorine readily gains an electron to form a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.

When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-

A chlorine atom gains an electron to become a chloride ion. This extra electron gives the ion a negative charge, balancing the positive charge of the proton in the nucleus, resulting in a stable electron configuration.
If a chlorine atom gains a valence electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as a chloride ion (Cl⁻). Conversely, if it were to lose a valence electron, which is less common for chlorine, it would become a positively charged ion, but this scenario is unlikely due to its high electronegativity. Thus, the most common ion formed by chlorine is Cl⁻ when it gains an electron.
