Question

Formation of common salt from Sodium and Chlorine is which type of reaction?​

Answer 1

• When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.

Answer 2

exothermic

When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom,forming a sodium cation(Na+) and a chlorideanion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. Thereaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy.
