A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
Only one, from sodium to chlorine.
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.
in Sodium Chloride yes
the sodium (Na) atom gives its single outermose electron to chlorine to form two ions of different charge.
Valence electron - Sodium loses one electron to form a sodium ion (valence of 1).
Sodium chloride
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
