Why does K become positive when it bonds to Cl to form KCl?

• Because it loses an electron to have a full valence shell 
• Because it gains an electron to have 2 valence electrons
• Because it loses an electron to become negatively charged
• Because Cl gives away its 7 electrons to Na to form an equal charge
