This is known as electron-transfer (ET).
Chlorine usually bonds ionically by gaining one electron.
Bonding between atoms occurs at the valence electron level. Core electrons and the atomic nucleus are unaffected.
The electron dot diagram shows bonding by a 'cross' (x) as the electron of the other atom. Therefore shows bonding. Either ionic or covalent. In covalent it shows within atoms and in ionic the electrons are separate as it is transferred and not shared.
An ionic bond. A complete transfer of an electron occurs, leading to the production of two charged species.

it is bonding that occurs between a metal and a nonmetal with a transfer of electrons

Sodium has 1 electron to "donate" and chlorine has space to "accept" 1 electron, so this electron transfer occurs and both have a stable octet electron configuration
Ions are formed in the environment by the transfer of electrons. This occurs in the atom when one electron transfers to another.

covalent bonding
Do you mean ionic bond? An atom with one extra electron can transfer its electron to an atom that needs an electron so that both atoms will have a full outer shell (valence). Then the two atoms are held together in an ionic bond.
