Answer:

The covalent bond in Cl₂ is break and combine with sodium to form NaCl through ionic bond.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Na  +  Cl₂    →   NaCl

Balanced chemical equation:

2Na  +  Cl₂    →   2NaCl

The given reaction indicate the formation of sodium chloride.

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. It is formed by the reaction of chlorine and sodium. The type of bond in Cl₂ is covalent. Both chlorine atoms are tightly held together through sharing of electrons. When sodium chloride is formed the covalent between the chlorine atoms are break and it react with sodium . The chlorine toms thus gain the one electron from the sodium atom and became negative ion while sodium by losing its one valance electrons became positive ions. The strong electrostatic forces are develop between them and ionic bond is formed.
