If they were in an aqueous solution (in water) they would remain dissociated (unbonded). If they were in an ideal non-aqueous environmet then they would bond to form sodium chloride NaCl.

Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?
False - the negatively charged chlorine cancels out the positively charged sodium. Therefore salt is a neutral, uncharged compound.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
How hydrogen bonds allow water to act as a solvent to dissolve sodium chloride?
since hydrogen is positively charged it attracts the negatively charged chlorine in sodium chloride
Does Chlorine have a negative or positive charge?
generally negatively charged chloride ion. but there are a few species where chlorine has positive charge like ClO3-, ClO4- etc.
In salt what is the nature of the bond between sodium and chlorine?
The bond between sodium and chlorine is ionic. The sodium atom loses an electron and becomes a positively charged ion, or cation, with a charge of +1. The chlorine atom receives the electron and becomes a negatively charged ion, or anion, with a charge of -1. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
Salt is formed from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative A True B False?
False - the negatively charged chlorine cancels out the positively charged sodium. Therefore salt is a neutral, uncharged compound.
What is the result of the animated process?
a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion.
If a chlorine atom were to attract an electron from sodium the chlorine atom would become blank charged?
positively
What would happen is a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chlorine ion came into contact?
they will loose electrons
When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative?
No. The charge on the salt is neutral.
Is lighting negatively charged or positively charged?
