How does the loss of an electron by sodium and gain of an electron by chlorine lead to the formation of sodium chloride?
Sodium loses an electron to form a positive ion, while chlorine gains an electron to form a negative ion, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride
Sodium gains an electron to form a positive ion, while chlorine loses an electron to form a negative ion, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride
Sodium and chlorine both lose electrons to form positive ions, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride
Sodium and chlorine both gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in the formation of sodium chloride
