Answer 2

Explanation:

sodium loses electron and chlorine accepts electron

Sodium and chlorine contain one and seven electrons, respectively, in their outermost shells. Hence, sodium transfers its one electron to chlorine atom and their octets get stabilised. In a sodium chloride molecule, sodium atom transfers its one electron to chlorine atom to form an ionic bond.
