Chlorine is a metal element. There are 17 electrons in a single atom.
In vanadium III chloride (VCl3), the vanadium ion has a charge of +3, meaning it has lost 3 electrons. Each chloride ion (Cl-) has gained 1 electron. So there are a total of 3 electrons in VCl3 - one from each Cl ion.
Chlorine will not for Cl-7 ion. It will form Cl-1 ion, which has total of 18 electrons.
Cl has 7 electrons. If you draw Cl^-, there are 8 electrons and a minus 1 charge. What do you want to draw? And what do you mean by "odd" electrons?
The atom chlorine usually has 17 protons and 17 electrons. However, the ion Cl-1 indicates that it has gained one electron, so it now has 17 protons and 18 electrons.
A Cl⁻ anion has gained one electron compared to a neutral chlorine atom. A neutral chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons, with the electron configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵. Therefore, in the Cl⁻ anion, there are 6 electrons in the 3p subshell, as it now has a total of 8 valence electrons (3s² 3p⁶).
Chlorine (Cl) has 17 electrons in its shells.
The anion of chloride (Cl⁻) has 18 electrons, as it has gained one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Chloride has 17 electrons in its neutral state, but when it gains an electron, it becomes Cl⁻ with 18 electrons.
Two total electrons are transferred in the reaction 2NaCl. Two electrons are lost from the sodium but gained for the chloride.
In vanadium III chloride (VCl3), the vanadium ion has a charge of +3, meaning it has lost 3 electrons. Each chloride ion (Cl-) has gained 1 electron. So there are a total of 3 electrons in VCl3 - one from each Cl ion.
Chlorine will not for Cl-7 ion. It will form Cl-1 ion, which has total of 18 electrons.

Chlorine has total of 17 electrons
A Cl⁻ anion has gained one electron compared to a neutral chlorine atom. A neutral chlorine atom has 7 valence electrons, with the electron configuration of [Ne] 3s² 3p⁵. Therefore, in the Cl⁻ anion, there are 6 electrons in the 3p subshell, as it now has a total of 8 valence electrons (3s² 3p⁶).
A chloride ion has gained one electron to become a Cl- ion, making it uncharged overall but with 18 electrons to match the 17 protons in its nucleus.
The number of electrons is 18.
Chloride anion has 8 valence electrons.
