4: 1-
5: potassium and iodine

100% quick check
chloride, chlorite, chlorate all are negative 1- ions.
Cl^- = chloride ion
(ClO2)^- = chlorite ion
(ClO3)^- = chlorate ion
chlorine (Cl2) is the only one listed that isn't an ion.

D - valace electrons increase by one
C - how many energy levels it has
B - (1-)
