Answer:
B. Opposite
Step-by-step explanation:
When one electron is transferred from sodium to chlorine, a pair of ions with oppositely charged ions is formed.
The electrostatic attraction between the ions forms a covalent bond between them.
- When atoms lose or gain electrons, they become ions due to the charge imbalance within them.
- If sodium lose an electron, it becomes positively charged.
- when the electron is gained by chlorine, it becomes negatively charged
- These oppositely charged ions combined to form the ionic compound.
