Sodium. A sodium atom has one valence electron in its 3rd energy level. This is very unstable, so a sodium atom will lose that single valence electron to another atom (nonmetal), and the 2nd energy level will then have 8 valence electrons, which is stable. The positively charged sodium ion, Na+, will bond with a negatively charged ion; either a nonmetal or a polyatomic ion.

Why is there an ionic bond between calcium and chlorine?

Calcium is a metal element while chlorine is a non metal. The difference between the electron negativities of the elements is more than 2.1. So they form ionic bonds.


What element can become stable by using one electron hydrogen farogen sodium nitrogen oxygen or chlorine?

Farogen is not an elemnt known to science. The element that can use one electron is chlorine, which achieves the octete when it gains an electron. hydrogen becomes the hydride ion with a stabel duet (He configutaration) Sodium can lose one electron to acheive the octet.

How chlorine forms anions?

Chlorine can form anions by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons. This extra electron gives the chlorine atom a negative charge, resulting in the formation of the chloride ion (Cl-).
