Explain ionic bond in NaCl.

1.	Explain ionic bond in NaCl.
Answer» Solution :NACL is lormed by the combination of sodium and chlorine. An atom of sodium transfer an electron to chlorine and form sodium ION (positive ion.) `Noverset(dot)atoNa^(+)+e^(-)` The chlorine atom GAIN, ONE electron from sodium and form chloride ion (negative ion) `:underset(..)overset(..)Cl+e^(-)to:underset(..)overset(..)Cl:^(-)` Thus both `Na^(+)andCl` ions are held by electrosatic force of attraction to form ionic MOLECULE NaCl.
