One: It is transferred from the sodium atom to the chlorine atom.
Electrons are transferred from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms.
Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
Chlorine becomes negatively charged.
Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride which is an ionic compound. It has a crystalline structure and has no molecules.
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
Electrons are transferred from sodium atoms to chlorine atoms.
One electron is transferred from each sodium to each chloride.
Only one electron is transferred.

Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
The single valence electron of a neutral sodium atom is transferred to the valence shell of a neutral chlorine atom to form the stated bond; therefore, the answer is 1.
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
The electrons are not lost, they are transferred. Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound whereby Sodium needs two 2 electrons to fill its valence shell and become stable. Chlorine needs to lose two electrons in order to have a complete and stable atom. Both atoms are more stable together than apart. This is the reason why atoms form compounds.
Each sodium will transfer 1 electron. So, for NaCl, one electron is transferred. In Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate), 2 electrons will be transferred (1 electron from each sodium).
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
