When a chlorine atom and a hydrogen atom exchange electrons, the chlorine atom gains an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-), while the hydrogen atom loses an electron to form a hydrogen ion (H+). This exchange is a type of ionic bond formation where the atoms become charged ions.
When a sodium atom (Na) and a chlorine atom (Cl) exchange an electron, the sodium atom loses an electron to become a positively charged sodium ion (Na+), while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). The oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, forming an ionic bond in a compound called sodium chloride (NaCl), or common table salt.

A sodium atom has one valance electron which it donates to a chlorine atom which has seven valance electrons; as a result of this electron exchange, both the sodium and the chlorine will then have complete outer electron shells, and they also will both become electrically charged ions which will attract each other.

Actually chlorine and hydrogen will not share electrons; the chlorine atom steals the electron from the hydrogen atom, creating two separate oppositely charged ions.

When a sodium atom and a chlorine atom exchange an electron, the sodium atom loses an electron to become a positively charged sodium ion, while the chlorine atom gains an electron to become a negatively charged chloride ion. These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond to create sodium chloride (table salt).
