Is it true that Sodium Chloride is an example of an ionic bond?

Answer 1

Yes. Sodium (Na) is a metal, and chlorine (Cl) is a nonmetal, and an ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal.

Added:

Yrs, this is true.

Sodium an alkali metal, donates one electron to chlorine to become the cation,

Na +

Chlorine, a halogen and a nonmetal, accepts one electron from sodium to become the anion,

Cl -

Opposites attract in elemental interactions, so,

Na + and Cl -

are bound together in the ionic compound,

NaCl
