Answer:

dont know the right answer but what i know i am for sure to share with you

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorine atom and chloride ions have an equal number of protons. When chlorine atom is converted into chloride ion, there is no change in the composition of the nucleus.

A chlorine atom has one electron less than chloride ion. Chlorine atom gains one electron to form chloride ion.
