draw the formation of nacl by lewis dot structure
Answers
Explanation:
Sodium(Na) has 1 electron in the outermost or valence shell. Chlorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell. Do in order to attain stable electronic configuration sodium gives away its electron to chlorine. so sodium becomes electropositive while chlorine becomes electronegative. so as you know unlike charges attract each other. Therefore the two atoms are held together by electrostatic force of attraction and thus form an ionic or electrovalent compound
