Question

describe how sodium and chloride form sodium chloride. Name the type of bonding

Answer 1

Sodium gives one electron to chlorine... Thus both get octet condition.... Na cation and Cl anion are formed.. Then they are joined by ionic bond

Answer 2

Hey mate!☺
Here's your answer...!

Sodium has 1 electron in its valence shell. It can become stable if it loses one electron.
Whereas Chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell. It needs 1 more electron to have the electronic configuration of Argon(d nearest noble gas).
So Sodium gives one electron to Chlorine, thereby both being satisfied due to stave electronic configuration.

The type of bond present in the formation of Sodium Chloride is Electrovalent Bond.

Hope this helps!❤
