This will produce sodium chloride (NaCl), which makes up the bulk of common table salt. This reaction can be dangerous if performed improperly.
Sodium and chlorine do not technically form molecules, but instead an ionically bonded salt. The proper term for what corresponds to a molecule in covalently bonded compounds is "formula unit" for ionically bonded compounds.
In it's natural state "chlorine" is a gas. It must be bonded with something to be useful for pools etc. Like sodium, giving us sodium chloride.
One electron is removed from sodium.
you get sodium chloride (naCl) Salt
When not bonded together in a comnpound chlorine is a pale green/yellow gas that is highly toxic to humans and sodium is a soft silvery metal that quickly tarnishes when cut and reacts vigerously with water to produce hydrogen.
You'd get sodium chloride ("salt").

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound because sodium and chlorine are chemically bonded.
Common salt is composed of atoms of sodium & chlorine. One atom of sodium is bonded to one atom of chlorine.
Because sodium and chlorine are strongly bonded without free electrons in the lattice.
NaCl, an ionically bonded compound named "sodium chloride".
In it's natural state "chlorine" is a gas. It must be bonded with something to be useful for pools etc. Like sodium, giving us sodium chloride.

There are two elements bonded together is sodium chloride: NaCl is made of sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-)
