Much more electronegative than Sodium(Na).
A chloride ion would simply be represented by chlorine's chemical symbol along with a negative 1 to indicate the gain of an electron: Cl-1 or Cl1- or just Cl-.
Chlorine (Cl) can gain an electron to achieve a full outer shell of electrons, forming the chloride ion (Cl-). This results in a negatively charged ion, as it now has one more electron than protons.
Cl has a tendency to gin electrons in a reaction, this is due to the fact that it has 7 electrons already, its much easier for chlorine to gain one more electron to have a full shell than to lose 7 and have a full shell.
Based on the stoichiometry of NaCl, for every one mole of NaCl there is one mole of Na+ and one mole of Cl-. Therefore, there are 1.5 moles Na+ and 1.5 moles Cl-, totaling 3 moles of ions altogether
Sodium (Na) would bond ionically with chlorine (Cl) to form sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium has an extra electron to give, while chlorine is readily able to accept an electron to complete its outer electron shell, resulting in the transfer of an electron from sodium to chlorine to form a stable ionic bond.
The ions in NaCl are sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In a NaCl crystal lattice, sodium atoms lose an electron to form positively charged sodium ions, while chlorine atoms gain an electron to form negatively charged chloride ions.

In NaCl, there exists Na+ and Cl- ions and with the electron configuration of [He]2s22p6 (for Na+) and [Ne]3s23p6 (for Cl-)
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are made up of generally two types of ions i.e. anions (or negatively charged ions) and cations (or positively charged ions). NaCl is made up of two ions i.e. Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). Na (atom) has one electron in its outermost shell. To complete its orbit (octet : by 8 electrons), it needs to lose one electron. On the other hand, Chlorine (atom) have seven electrons in its outermost shell. To complete its orbit (octet : by 8 electrons), it needs to gain one electron. Thus, Na donates one electron to Cl. As Na loses one electron, it becomes cation; while Cl gains one electron, it becomes anion. The one electron, which is lost by Na+ and gained by Cl-, results in the Polarity of NaCl. Chloride has the tendency to gain electron, therefore, it attracts the electron with high force. While Sodium don't have, thus it doesn't attracts. Thus, Chlorine becomes more electronegative despite Sodium. From the above mentioned, we can assume that NaCl is a polar compound.
Sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) are formed when a sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom. This transfer of electrons creates the stable ionic compounds sodium chloride (NaCl).
Chlorine (Cl) could gain stability by gaining one electron to achieve a full outer shell, forming a chloride ion (Cl-). This allows it to have a full octet, making it more stable.
A chloride ion would simply be represented by chlorine's chemical symbol along with a negative 1 to indicate the gain of an electron: Cl-1 or Cl1- or just Cl-.
Yes, NaCl contains ionic bonds. In an ionic bond, one atom gives up an electron to another atom. This electron transfer creates charged particles called ions. In the case of NaCl, sodium (Na) loses an electron to chlorine (Cl), forming Na+ and Cl- ions which are held together by electrostatic forces.
It is held by an ionic bond between Na and Cl atoms. It is formed when sodium looses an electron and Cl gains one.
Ionic bond because losing 1 electron makes the atom a +1 ion; gaining 1 electron makes the atom a -1 ion. A Cl atom attracts the outer shell electron of a Na atom forming a Na^+1 ion and a Cl^-1 ion. And that is NaCl , table salt!!!!
Chlorine (Cl) has the most negative electron affinity among these elements. It has a higher tendency to gain an electron to form a chloride ion compared to aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), and sulfur (S).
