<u>b. a positive cation and a negative anion</u>
✏ Anions are negative in nature while cations are positive in nature. Together they come together by an attractive electrostatic force to form an ionic bond.

Answer:
Sodium is a silvery-white metal that reacts with chlorine gas, which is a yellow-greenish gas that is toxic. The reaction gives off a lot of heat. After the reaction, which statement is true about the chemical properties of the product, sodium chloride?
Pure sodium reacts violently and sometimes explosively with water producing sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas and heat
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Chlorine is a very poisonous yellow green gas with a sharp odour that was used in gas warfare during WW1
Sodium and chlorine reacts with each other, however, to produce one of the most familiar substance used in cooking and preservation industry today Sodium Chloride or Common salt or table salt in the irreversible equation;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)
Explanation:
It is easy to see why this reaction takes place so readily sodium has one electron in its outermost valence shell while chlorine has seven electrons in its valence shell. when sodium atom transfers one electron to chlorine atom forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-) both ions have complete valence shells and are energetically more stable. the reaction is extremely exothermic, producing a bright yellow light and a great deal of heat and fumes of sodium chloride.
In a reaction observation of the reaction process you will see sodium flares up almost immediately upon reaction with water.
1 gram of sugar because super molecules are bigger then the ions of dissolved salt
Group 6 elements usually have extra electrons to make give them an octet. So, they have 6 electrons to start and when they have an octet, they have 8.
We can find the charge by doing simple math 6 - 8 = -2
Answer is D)
