Answer 1

Based on the naming rules for ions, the negatively charged ion among the options you provided is **chloride**. Chloride is the anion formed when chlorine gains an electron, resulting in a negatively charged ion (Cl⁻).

The other terms you mentioned (like "chlorine" and "chlorate") refer to either the elemental form or polyatomic ions, respectively.
