Salt
NaCl, which is table salt.
metals lose electrons when they react with a non-metal
Sodium metal and chlorine gas do not "attract" each other. They react chemically - sodium metal is oxidised - losing one electron- chlorine is reduced gaining one. The two resulting oppositely charged ions, Na+ and Cl- form the ionic compound NaCl
NO!!! However, if you have a gas jar of chlorine, and place a pellet of sodium in it, they will react to form sodium chloride (salt)
The elements sodium and chlorine {note spelling} react to form sodium chloride.
what does sodium metal and choline gas react to form
Naturally, Sodium is a metal (solid) and chlorine is a gas, so they only react at high temperatures or pressure. When they do react, they form crystals (sodium chloride).
Sodium and Chlorine form Sodium Chloride when they react. This is because the cation of sodium is added to the anion of chlorine.

Very Carefully...
An ionic compound (of a type called a salt) with the name sodium chloride and formula NaCl.
sodium will react chlorine to form sodium chloride

Sodium and chlorine react to form a ionic bond which is salt
