Answer:
<u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.
Correct answer - C
Explanation:
A solid sodium metal reacts with gaseous form of chlorine gas to form a solid sodium chloride.
This formation of sodium chloride arises due to transfer of one valence electron from sodium to chlorine atom and the both atoms get stable octet electronic configuration.
As a result, an ionic compound solid sodium chloride is formed.
The chemical reaction of formation sodium chloride is as follows.

Therefore, <u>only sodium chloride compounds</u> MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas.
The metals will lose electrons while the non metals will gain electrons in order to attain octet structure.
An ion can be cation (positively charged) or anion (negatively charged).
Cations attain octet structure (8) by losing electron(s) while anions become stable or attains octet structure (8) by gaining electron(s).
The remaining elements are completed as follows to attain octet structure;
<u>Element</u>--<u>valence electron</u>--<u>electrons to gain</u>--<u>electrons to lose</u>--<u>ion formed</u>

The oxidation half reaction of the reaction given above would be: Ca → Ca + 2e−. Oxidation is the loss of electrons of an element while its counterpart is called the reduction which gains the electrons that has been lost. Hope this answers the question.
The name transition metal refers to the position in the periodic table of elements. The transition elements represent the successive addition of electrons to the d atomic orbitals of the atoms. In this way, the transition metals represent the transition between group 2 (2A) elements and group 13 (3A) elements.
