Answer: increases by
As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron
Explanation:
Chlorine atom has an atomic number of 17, and an electronic configuration of 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p5 showing 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
Hence, it receives a single electron to achieve a stable octet structure with electronic configuration of
1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s2 3p6. Therefore, Cl- is a univalent negative ion with 8 valence electrons in its outermost shell. The increase is shown below
Cl + e- --> Cl-
Thus, as a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom "increases by" an electron

Answer:
If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion
Explanation:
A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.
A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.
