Answer:

Chlorine (Cl) in its lowest energy state (called the ground state) has seven electrons in its outer shell. Again, it is more energy-efficient for chlorine to gain one electron than to lose seven. ... In the formation of an ionic compound, metals lose electrons and nonmetals gain electrons to achieve an octet.
