. Why a chlorine atom with an atomic number of 17 will be negatively charged when its valance shell gains an electron.

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.)

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
