Question

Draw the electron dot structures of sodium and chlorine Show the
formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chlorine by the
transfer of electrons

Prasad · Answer

Electronic Configuration of Na: 2,8,1
Na → Na+ + e-
Electronic Configuration of Na+: 2,8 (which is
stable electronic config )

Electronic Configuration of Cl: 2,8,7
Cl + e- → Cl-
Electronic Configuration of Cl- : 2,8,8 (which is
stable electronic config )​

⇒ NaCl
