An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
Answer: B
Explanation:
At equilibrium, the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction, and thus the concentrations of the reactants and products must be constant.

Answer:
d. 0.208 M NaOH
Explanation:
M[NaOH] = 23+16+1= 40g/mol
2.40L = 2.4dm3
M=m/Mv
M=20.0g/40g/mol×2.4dm3
M=20.0g ÷ 96
M= 0.208 M NaOH
