In Ionic bonding, ions can become charged by giving or taking electrons. Ions are always trying to have a full outer shell of electrons because that makes them stable. Therefore, in the compound sodium chloride (NaCl or Table Salt) sodium loses one electron to chlorine. Therefore the sodium has a + charge, because it has one more proton than electron. The chlorine has a - charge because it has one more electron than proton.
