Answer»

Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative. Sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond that's why they called ionic compound.

Ionic Bond:1. Formed between metal and non metal. 2. Do not have definite shape. 3. High melting point.

Covalent Bond:1. Formed between two non metals. 2. Have definite shape. 3. Low melting point.
