Sodium (Na)
- atomic no. = 11
- electronic configuration= 2,8,1
By losing one electron of its outermost shell , it acquires the inert gas configuration of neon and changes into sodium Ion .
On the other hand,
chlorine(Cl)
- atomic mass= 17
- electronic configuration= 2 ,8 ,7
Accepts one electron released by Sodium to complete its orbit and acquire stable configuration of argon in this process chlorine is converted into chloride ion .
________________________________________
- Sodium chloride is a white crystalline solid having a density of 2.17 g/ml.
- It melts at 1080 K (807°C) and boils at 1713 K (1440°C).
- Pure sodium chloride is non-hygroscopic, but behaves as hygroscopic due to the impurities of CaCl2 and MgCl2 in it.
