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

Explanation:
Formation Of Sodium Ion
The atomic number of sodium is 11. This, its electronic configuration is 2(k) 8(l) 1 (m). Thus to attend the stable configuration of the nearest noble gas it must to donate a single electron from its M shell. In doing so the valency of M shell will disappear and, instead, of the l shell of the 8 electrons becomes valence shell.
