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.
Chlorine has seven electrons in its outer energy level (valence shell). To achieve a full outer energy level, which requires eight electrons, chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, chlorine typically gains one electron to fill its outer energy level and achieve stability.
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.
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
