Answer:

1. Ionic Bonds. ... It is easiest for sodium to lose its electron and form a +1 ion, and for chlorine to gain an electron, forming a -1 ion. If sodium can transfer it's "spare" electron to chlorine (as shown above), both atoms will satisfy their full outer shell requirements, and an ionic bond will be formed.
