Question

Explain the formation of sodium chloride. omtex

Answer 1

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 2

Answer:

sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride it is a ionic compound

Explanation:

Na+1/2cl2 gives NaCl2

• CATION FORMATION

Sodium losses1 valence electron get nearest electronic configuration

• ANION FORMATION
• Chlorine to gain valence electron for octet rule from Na
• FORMATION OF NACL2

1. transfer pd electron between na and cl results in formation of na+ and cl- this oppositly charged ions are combined by electrostatic force and form NaCl
