No! Electrons are negatively charged. A neutral atom gaining a electron will, by necessity, become negatively charged.
Cl(-)
It becomes a chloride ion with a 1- charge.
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
if an electron gains enough energy it jumps to a higher energy level. when this happens the atom is in an "excited" state.
It becomes a negative ion.
A negatively charged "ion".
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
The electron gains energy.
The electron gains energy.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge. This results in the formation of a stable ionic compound, such as sodium chloride (table salt). The extra electron fills the outermost energy level, achieving a full octet and increasing the stability of the atom.
It becomes a negative ion.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as chloride ion (Cl-). This ion has a full outer energy level and is more stable than the neutral chlorine atom.
When a chlorine atom gains an electron in its outer energy shell, it becomes a negatively charged ion called a chloride ion. This extra electron fills its outer shell, giving it a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas. Chloride ions commonly combine with sodium ions to form salt, sodium chloride.
It becomes an anion, Cl-
chlorine is a group seven element with outmost energy level lacking only one electron, thus is not stable. when it gains this electron, it gets an octet electron structure(8 e in the vallency shell) this makes it very stable in the enviroment; the reason why chlorine molecule exists due to its stable atoms but chlorine atom does not exist in nature
