The cation sodium.

Na +

The anion chlorine.

Cl -

NaCl

----------------sodium chloride

Sodium only has the one valance electron to donate to an ionic bond and chlorine can accept only one electron into it's valance shell. Then their octets are complete.

So,

NaCl2

is not possible as chlorine could not accept an electron not being donated in this invalid compound.

How large would the lattice energy need to be for the formation of NaCl2 to be exothermic?

The lattice energy needed for the formation of NaCl2 to be exothermic would need to be larger than the energy required to break the bonds in Na and Cl2 and smaller than the energy released when the new Na-Cl bonds are formed in NaCl2. This would result in a negative overall enthalpy change for the reaction, indicating an exothermic process.
