Explanation:

When chlorine bonds and becomes stable, (had a full outer electron shell), because we know that chlorine has 7 electrons in it’s outer shell, it requires 1 to gain noble gas structure. So, when if bonds with an element and then becomes stable, the gaining of an electron means it becomes a negatively charged ion. (an ion being a charged particle.)
