Chlorine gains electrons and sodium lose electrons

In presence of chlorine, sodium atoms will discharge electrons to give sodium ions to combine with chloride ions followed by forming a lattice of sodium chloride.
Chlorine and sodium combine to produce the ionic compound sodium chloride.
They form an ionic bond
Just by mixing there will be no reaction between any of these. However if suitable energy is supplied then sodium may combine with chlorine to form sodium chloride. Argon is chemically inert and does not react.

sodium and chlorine (Na and Cl) chemically combine
Chlorine and sodium combine to produce the ionic compound sodium chloride.
They form an ionic bond
A sodium atom has 11 protons and electrons and a chlorine atom has 17 protons and electrons. When they combine, sodium loses an electron, and chlorine gains the electron sodium lost. Now, sodium has 10 electrons and 11 protons, making it positively charged. Chlorine on the other hand, now has 18 electrons and 17 protons, making it negatively charged. Sodium has a +1 charge, and chlorine has a -1 charge. Both charges cancel out, making it have no charge.
If you combine pure sodium with chlorine gas, you get a violent thermogenic chemical reaction that results in NaCl (Sodium Chloride; common table salt) and considerable energy release.
Just by mixing there will be no reaction between any of these. However if suitable energy is supplied then sodium may combine with chlorine to form sodium chloride. Argon is chemically inert and does not react.
