Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
Chlorine's charge would be negative because it gained an electron, which results in it having an extra negative charge.

Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
Chlorine gains one electron from sodium, leading to the formation of a chloride ion. The chloride ion carries a charge of -1 due to the gained electron.
-1
Sodium would lose one electron and chlorine would gain one electron. End of contest. Sodim is oxidised, chlorine is reduced.
Sodium reacts with chlorine gas because sodium wants to donate its electron to chlorine to achieve a stable electron configuration, and chlorine wants to gain an electron to also become stable. This electron transfer results in the formation of ionic bonds between sodium and chlorine atoms, leading to the creation of sodium chloride (table salt).
in sodium chloride chlorine gains an electron and the bond formed between then is ionic.
Yes, both sodium and chlorine ions are stable. Sodium ion (Na+) has a full outer shell of electrons, following the octet rule, while chlorine ion (Cl-) has gained an electron to achieve a full outer shell.
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.
After chlorine accepts the electron from sodium, it becomes a chloride ion with a negative charge of -1.
