Explanation:
Ionic bond: The attractive force by which cations and anions, formed by exchanging electrons, are held within the atoms of a compound is called ionic bond.
In NaCl,
Sodium(Na) is a metal and it donates one electron from its outermost energy level and forms Na+ cation or positively charged ion. On the other hand Chlorine(Cl) is a non-metal. So, it receives one electron donated by Na and becomes anion or negatively charged ion.
