The process is called ionic bonding. In the case of sodium and chlorine, sodium ions (Na+), and chloride ions (Cl-), form an electrostatic attraction due to their opposite charges. This electrostatic attraction is called an ionic bond.

Why do sodium and chlorine bond in the ionic way?
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
What happens to the original sodium and chlorine after the chloro alkali process?
Chlor-alkali process is really a whole range of processes associated with salt (sodium chloride) and sodium and chlorine. The primary products are sodium and chlorine. Chlorine has almost limitless uses from simple bleach to plastics manufacture. Sodium is basically a byproduct but generally finds use once converted to caustic soda (sodium hydroxide).
What type of bond between sodium and chlorine?
An ionic bond as there is an actual transfer of electrons between the two elements in the product, Sodium Chloride. Sodium gives away one electron in order to become stable, i.e., get noble gas configuration and chlorine accepts that electron (given away by Sodium) to become stable. Thus, an ionic bond is formed between them.
Why does the transfer of an electron occur between a sodium atom and a chlorine atom?
Chlorine is extremely electronegative and will steal electrons from the valence shell of sodium. When chlorine steals the electron, both sodium and chlorine have full valence shells.
Is the fact that a combination reaction occures between sodium and chlorine applicapable to the argument sodium and chlorine combine to form table salt?
Yes, because the product of the combination (aka synthesis) reaction between sodium and chlorine is the compound sodium chloride (NaCl), which is common table salt.
A chlorine atom will steal an electron from a sodium atom. The result is called an between the sodium and chlorine ions. this forms sodium chloride known as salt?
ionic bond
The product of the synthesis reaction between sodium and chlorine gas is-?
The product of the synthesis reaction between sodium and chlorine gas is
What is the relationship between sodium chlorine and table salt?
Table salt is a compound formed by reaction between sodium and chlorine.
Why do sodium and chlorine bond in the ionic way?
The difference in electronegativity between sodium and chlorine is the reason.
How many electron are transferred in the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine NaCl?
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
Which one is oxidising between sodium an chlorine?
chlorine is oxidising
What happens in an ionic bond formation between sodium and chlorine?
You create something called sodium chloride, or common table salt.
How many electrons are transferred in the ionic between sodium chlorine in NaCl?
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
What happens to the original sodium and chlorine after the chloro alkali process?
Chlor-alkali process is really a whole range of processes associated with salt (sodium chloride) and sodium and chlorine. The primary products are sodium and chlorine. Chlorine has almost limitless uses from simple bleach to plastics manufacture. Sodium is basically a byproduct but generally finds use once converted to caustic soda (sodium hydroxide).
What valuable product are formed from the electrolysis of brine?
Chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide, which is why it's called the chlor-alkali process.
Sodium and chlorine bond to form sodium chloride Which type of compound is sodium chloride?
It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
