Third choice because the others make no sense
<span> When a sodium atom transfers an electron to a chlorine atom, forming a sodium cation (Na+) and a chloride anion (Cl-), both ions have complete valence shells, and are energetically more stable</span>
<span>hope this helps</span>
Explanation:
The net ionic equation of a reaction is obtained from the complete ionic equation after removing the spectator ions.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with acetic acid is shown below:
![NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)->CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=NaHCO_3%28aq%29%2BCH_3COOH%28aq%29-%3ECH_3COONa%28aq%29%2BH_2O%28l%29%2BCO_2%28g%29)
The complete ionic equation is:
![Na^+(aq)+HCO_3^-(aq)+CH_3COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->CH_3COO^-(aq)+Na^+(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Na%5E%2B%28aq%29%2BHCO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BCH_3COO%5E-%28aq%29%2BH%5E%2B%28aq%29-%3ECH_3COO%5E-%28aq%29%2BNa%5E%2B%28aq%29%2BH_2O%28l%29%2BCO_2%28g%29)
The net ionic equation is:
![HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=HCO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BH%5E%2B%28aq%29-%3EH_2O%28l%29%2BCO_2%28g%29)
Answer:The net ionic equation is shown below:
![HCO_3^-(aq)+H^+(aq)->H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=HCO_3%5E-%28aq%29%2BH%5E%2B%28aq%29-%3EH_2O%28l%29%2BCO_2%28g%29)
