A sodium atom loses an electron which is gained by the chlorine atom. This results in the formation of a sodium ion with a 1+ charge and a chloride ion with a 1- charge. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond between the ions.

∙ 7y agoSodium (Na) has one valence electron, which is wants to lose to become more stable. Chlorine (Cl) has 7 valence electrons, and it wants to gain 1 electron to become more stable. Thus, Na loses 1 electron to become Na^+ and Cl gains that one electron to become Cl^-. Opposite charges attract and you end up with an ionic bond or ionic compound of NaCl.

Why does sodium make ionic bond with chlorine?
Common salt is NACl and contains both sodium and chlorine. It can therefre be used as a source of chlorine (electrolysis) and sodium compounds.
The attraction between sodium ions and chlorine ions forms?
An ionic bond
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
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.
Calculate the percent covalent character of a chemical bond between chlorine and sodium?

Describe how a sodium atom forms a bond with a chlorine atom?
The bonding mechanism between sodium and chlorine atom occurs through harpoon mechanism
What happens to chlorine when it gains n atom from sodium?
It forms an ionic bond with sodium creating Salt, which has a lattice shape
