It is IONIC bond.
The sodium atom (Na) ionises (loses) one electron, to infinity, to be come the sodium cation (Na^(+)).
Na(s) = Na^(+)(g) + e^(-)
This electron, from infinity, by electron affinity combines into a chlorine atom to form the chloride anion. (Cl^(-)).
Cl(g) + e^(-) = Cl^(-)(g) .
Because these two ions have an equal charge of '1' , and opposite charge of (+/-), they are attracted to each other, like the N & S poles of a magnet. This attraction is called Electrostatic Attraction. Hence forming the ionic molecule sodium chloride.
Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)
A balanced chemical reaction eq'n is
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) = 2NaCl(s) .
This is because chlorine exists as a diatomic molecule, NOT as single atoms.
NB The movement of electrons is described as moving to & from inifinty, not directly from one to the other.
What else can I help you with?
Is NaCI an atom or molecule?
NaCl is a molecule, not an atom. It is composed of two different elements, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl), bonded together through ionic bonding to form a compound called sodium chloride.
What is the element naci?
There is no element called Naci. Naci is a common misspelling of NaCl, which stands for sodium chloride, or table salt. Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form sodium chloride.
What is quartz bonding?
Quartz bonding refers to the process of joining two pieces of quartz material together using adhesive or other bonding techniques. This is commonly done in the manufacturing of quartz products such as countertops, tiles, and jewelry. The bonding process helps create seamless and strong connections between the pieces of quartz.
How many elements are in NaCI have?
NaCl has two elements: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).
Does chlorine become a negative ion before bonding yes or no?
Chlorine becomes a negative ion in the process of bonding; ionization and bonding are simultaneous, so no, it does not happen before bonding.
In science what is process text?
