Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons
A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.
it makes sodium chloride separately the elements are explosive (sodium) and a highly choking gas (chlorine) when chemically joined they create sodium chloride

The sodium atom gives an electron to the chlorine atom to make the sodium and chloride ions respectively. Then they form ionic bonds forming sodium chloride.

A chemical reaction occur and sodium chloride is the product.
It becomes salt, NaCl.
Nothing at all. The sodium is fully oxidised in sodium chloride and chlorine gas has no effect. +++ "... fully oxidised..." Really? There is no oxygen in the compound, which is simply NaCl.
The electron is transferred to chlorine.
