Describe what would happen if a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chlorine atom came into contact?

If they were in an aqueous solution (in water) they would remain dissociated (unbonded). If they were in an ideal non-aqueous environmet then they would bond to form sodium chloride NaCl.


Is sodium and chlorine a pair of isotopes?

Sodium and chlorine are elements. If you mean one sodium atom and one chlorine atom yes they would be both isotopes but of different elemnts. If they were randomly sampled from nature the sodium atom would almost certainly be sodium-23 (there is only a trace of sodium-22 found in nature) and the chlorine atom would most likely be chlorine-35 as this isotope is about 75% of chlorine)
