Explanation:

Sodium is a metal

Chlorine is a non-metal

They both form ionic bonds in between them and exhibit their characters.

A metal is an electropositive material with a large atomic radius.

A non-metal is an electronegative material.

In forming an ionic bond, a metal will donate its electron. The non-metals gains this lost electrons.

The metals becomes positively charged and the non-metals carry a negative charge.

The electrostatic force of attraction between them causes the formation of an ionic bond in between them.
