Question

Show the formation of NaCl from Na and Cl by the transfer of electrons . Name the cation and anion

Answer 1

Atomic number of sodium(Na) is 11 atoms in last shell is 1.

atomic number of chlorine(cl) is 17 atoms in last shell is 7.

so Na gives 1 atom to chlorine.

This is complete transfer of electrons so it is ionic compound.

And The sodium (Na) atom transfers one electron to the chlorine (Cl) atom, in order to attain complete octet . Na is anion and Cl is cation.
