Answer 2

Sodium has one electron in its outer shell and chlorine has 7 electrons in its outer shell. the atoms will form a (d) ionic bond by transferring their electrons.

Explanation:

• The outer shell of a sodium atom contains one electron. If the atom has a complete outer shell, which is also more stable. The outer electron of a sodium atom can be lost.

• Chlorine (Cl) contains seven electrons in their outermost shells. It usually forms a stable octet by stealing an electron from another element.

• The full transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms is referred to as ionic bonding. It is a chemical connection that produces two oppositely charged ions.
