Yea this makes me happy I love talking about bonds Here is a explanation since there is no question.

In the ionic bond that creates sodium fluoride, for example, the element sodium loses one of its 11 electrons to balance the 9 electrons in Fluoride because the ionization energy of sodium (the charge required to lose an electron) is low.

Glad to help

Have a wonderful day
