Recall that a Lewis dot structure represents the valence electrons of an atom or ion as dots around the chemical symbol.
Determine the number of valence electrons for a neutral chlorine atom, which is 7, since chlorine is in group 17 of the periodic table.
For the chloride ion (Cl⁻), recognize that it has gained one extra electron, increasing the total valence electrons to 8.
Draw the chlorine symbol (Cl) surrounded by 8 dots to represent these valence electrons, ensuring the dots are placed in pairs around the symbol.
Enclose the entire structure in brackets and add a superscript negative charge (⁻) outside the brackets to indicate the ion's charge.
