Answer:
1) In chlorine an electron pair is shared between the two atoms in Cl2.
This is called covalent bonding.
So by sharing electrons through covalent bond formation, atoms are able to fill their valence shell and so attain a noble gas configuration.
2 The bond between sodium ion and perchlorate ion is an ionic bond. But the perchlorate ion consists chlorine and oxygen being covalently bonded. So, essentially, there's both - ionic and covalent (molecular) bond, in sodium perchlorate
