The reason that a sodium atom bonds with a chlorine atom is because
- Sodium transfers an electron to Chlorine
- Oppositely charged ions form a strong electrostatic attraction
- Ions are the same size
- The ions have a full outer shell
Hint:
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound.
The correct answer is: Oppositely charged ions form a strong electrostatic attraction
- Sodium chloride is an ionic compound.
- An ionic bond is formed between an anion and a cation.
- Sodium forms a sodium cation by losing one electron and chlorine forms an anion by gaining one electron.
- Oppositely charged ions form strong electrostatic attraction.
