During the formation of NaCl, ___________

Question

  Na gains an electron while Cl loses an electron

 

  Na cations are attracted to Cl anions

 

  Na anions are attracted tl Cl cations

 

  Na is covalently bonded to the Cl

 

Answer 1

NaCl is considered an ionic compound meaning that the bond formed between Na and Cl is created by Na donating an electron and Cl accepting that electron forming a Na⁺ cation and a Cl^- anion which are then attracted to one another.

The answer would be Na cations are attracted to Cl anions
