What happens when chlorine form an ion is that it gains an electron and has an octet in its outer shell ( answer A)
<u><em> Explanation</em></u>
<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is is in atomic number 17 in periodic table.
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5 or[Ne]3S2 3p5 or 2.8.7.
chlorine therefore has 7 valence electron therefore it gain 1 electron to form Cl- ( ion)
Cl- has 8 electron in its outer shell ( it obeys octet rule of eight valence in outer shell.
