Question

a chloride ion is a positively charged ion.true or false

Answer 1

exactly that's false

Answer 2

A neutral chlorine atom, for example, contains 17 protons and 17 electrons. By adding one more electron we get a negatively charged Cl- ion with a net charge of -1. The gain or loss of electrons by an atom to form negative or positive ions has an enormous impact on the chemical and physical properties of the atom.
