Describe how ionic bonds in sodium chloride are formed |
|
Answer» Answer: Ionic bonding in sodium chloride. An atom of sodium (Na) DONATES one of its electrons to an atom of chlorine (CL) in a chemical reaction, and the resulting positive ion (Na+) and negative ion (Cl−) FORM a stable ionic COMPOUND (sodium chloride; common table salt) based on this ionic bond. |
