Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the elements involved in the compound: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl).
Determine the type of elements: sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal.
Recall that when a metal reacts with a nonmetal, the bond formed is typically ionic due to the transfer of electrons.
Understand that sodium donates one electron to chlorine, forming Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions, which are held together by electrostatic attraction.
Conclude that the bond in sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic bond.
