Answer:
Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. ... So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond.

Answer:
- The atomic number of Na is 11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1.
- It has 1 valence electron, so it loses 1 electron to form Na+ ion.
- The atomic number of Cl is 17, its electronic configuration is 2,8,7.
- It has 7 valence electrons, so it gains 1 electron to form Clion.
- Then, the attraction between the Na+ ion and Clion results in the
formation of sodium chloride molecule, NaCl.
