Why is the chlorine ion attracked to the sodium ion?

When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.

Do sodium and chlorine atom form a covalent bond?

No, sodium and chlorine do not form a covalent bond. They typically form an ionic bond, where sodium loses an electron to form a positive ion and chlorine gains an electron to form a negative ion, resulting in an attraction between the two ions.

Is the symbol Cl an ionic compound a polar molecule negative ion or a positive ion?

None of them. Cl is the symbol for an atom of chlorine. If it were a compound there would be at least one other symbol, and the same applies to a polar molecule. If it were a negative ion it would be Cl- with the negative sign as a superscript. Chlorine doesn't form positive ions in normal circumstances, but it would be Cl+ , again with the charge as a superscript.


Why sodium have a positive charge in sodium chloride?

Sodium Chloride does not have free electrons normally, Sodium with electron arrangement: 2,8,1 and Chlorine with electron arrangement: 2,8,7 When they react Sodium ionises to 2,8 ( Ne) Chlorine gains the free electron to ionise to 2,8,8 (Ar) Forming Sodium Chloride or Na+CL-
