Answer: I think it is true.

Explanation: Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost, while reduction occurs when electrons are gained. The two processes are linked, whenever one substance is oxidized another has to be reduced. The sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) combine to form solid sodium chloride, which is an ionic compound.
