Answer:
electrons are not shared when sodium and chlorine react with each other as sodium is a metal, and chlorine is a non metal. so, an ionic compound will be formed (that is, sodium will give 1 electron to chlorine, thus forming a ionic bond). they do not share electrons as electrons are shared only when there are 2 non metals taking place in the reaction. (a covalent compound and a covalent bond is formed)
