Answer:
When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable. The reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat energy

Answer:
Yes it's correct.
Explanation:
But actually na not burns with cl2 gas. Na and cl2 gas share the electrons to form nacl or we can say transfer of electron takes place in between the two where lots of energy in the form of heat is released that is exothermic reaction. This is the reason i think, hope this will help you
