An ionic bond forms between sodium and chlorine when the sodium atoms donate elections

Explanation;

  • Ionic bond is a type of bonds that results from transfers of electrons from one atom to another. This types of bond is formed between metals and non metals.
  • Metals lose electrons to form cations (positively charged ion) and non metals gain electrons forming anions, negatively charged ion.
  • In this case, sodium donates and electron to chlorine atom, thus they both achieve a stable electronic configuration forming ions.
