Ionically.
Sodium ionises its one outer most valence electon to form the cation Na^(+)
Chlorine has electron affinity, wi thspace to accept one more electron to complete its outer energy shell octet. Cl^(-)
Since the sodium cation and the chloride anion each have one opposite charge, they combine like the north and south poles of a magnet.
Here are the equations
Na => Na^(+) + e^- (ionisation)
e^- + Cl => Cl^(-) (electron affinity)
Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = (Na^+Cl^-) or just NaCl(s) (ionic attraction)
