When sodium and chlorine atoms come together to form sodium chloride (NaCl), they transfer an electron. The sodium (Na) atom transfers one electron to the chlorine (Cl) atom, in order to attain complete octet . With the transfer of the electron, however, they become electrically charged, and combine into salts through the formation of ionic bonds.
The sodium ion now has only ten electrons, but still has eleven protons. This upsets the balance of charges between the protons and electrons, which causes the sodium atom to have a net positive charge. When this happens, the atom is called a positive ion. The chloride ion now has eighteen electrons and seventeen protons, so it's become a negative ion. Plz brainleist it
