Electron transfer during the formation of sodium chloride can be written in the form of an equationNa → Na+ + 1e- Cl + 1e- → Cl- |
|
Answer» During the formation of sodium chloride sodium atom donates electron and gets converted to sodium ion (Na+) chlorine accepts an electron to form chloride ion (Cl-). Through this sodium and chlorine atoms complete an octet in their outermost shell to attain stability. The oppositely charged ions thus formed are held together by electrostatic force of attraction. This attractive force is called Ionic Bond. Sodium chloride contains ionic bond. |
