It becomes a negative ion.
When chlorine gains an electron , it forms an anion. It is represented as Cl-
A negatively charged "ion".
when chlorine gains an electron, it now now contains a full octet. this means that the chlorine element is now chemically perfect and now is stable , but not as stable as one of the Noble Gases
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.
Chlorine gains 1 electron to achieve the noble gas electron configuration of argon.
When chlorine gains an extra electron, it becomes a negatively charged ion known as chloride (Cl-). This makes the atom more stable and allows it to participate in ionic bonding with other elements.
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 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.
When it gains an electron. It then becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
It becomes a negative ion.
they form an ionic bond (:
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.
Chloride or Cl- is the anion (Negative ion) formed by a single chlorine atom that gains an extra electron.
Chlorine's charge becomes negative after accepting an electron because it gains one extra electron, turning it into a chloride ion with a -1 charge.
