When a chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion, it is reduced. This means that the chlorine atom gains an electron and attains a negative charge. In order for this to happen, chlorine must react with another substance which gives up an electron.
A chemical bond is formed between the Hydrogen and Chlorine, and energy is then released as a result.

It gains an electron in its 3p orbital, giving an unbalanced negative charge.
The diatomic bonding of chlorine is covalent as the electronegativities of both chlorine atoms are exactly the same.
When two chlorine atoms combine, the chlorine molecule is formed.
This is a chemical reaction.
accepts an electron to become the chloride anion, Cl-
It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
It forms an ionic bond with sodium creating Salt, which has a lattice shape
Chlorine (Cl)
No! A sodium atom is initially electrically neutral. When it donates one electron to a chlorine atom, the sodium atom becomes a singly charged cation.

It becomes an ion with a larger radius than the atom of chlorine
The bonding mechanism between sodium and chlorine atom occurs through harpoon mechanism
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.

Chlorine (Cl)
Any metal atom will form an ionic bond with chlorine, as long as there is a complete transfer of electrons and both atoms become stable.
