Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride which is an ionic compound. It has a crystalline structure and has no molecules.
Silicon has 4 Calcium has 2 Chlorine has 7 Sodium has 1
A sodium atom has 1 electron in its valence shell, while a chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its valence shell. When sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride, the sodium atom loses its 1 electron to achieve a stable octet configuration, while the chlorine atom gains this electron. The resulting sodium chloride molecule has 8 electrons in the valence shell of the chlorine atom.
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
One chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell. Therefore, sodium can donate its electron to chlorine, forming a stable compound where chlorine has a full outer shell with 8 electrons.

1 Sodium (Na) and 1 Chlorine (Cl)
Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell, while chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell. To achieve a stable electron configuration, sodium will donate its electron to chlorine, forming an ionic bond. This results in sodium losing 1 electron and chlorine gaining 1 electron to form sodium chloride.
In chlorine gas (Cl2), there are 17 protons and 17 electrons in each chlorine atom. Since there are two chlorine atoms in a molecule of chlorine gas, there are a total of 34 protons and 34 electrons in chlorine gas.
