My answer to the question above is not the best example but I hope it will help you. <span>The Arrhenius model says that acids always contain H+ and that bases always contain OH-. </span>
<span>The Bronsted-Lowry model thinks of acids as being proton donors and proton acceptors, so bases no longer need to contain OH-, and acids donate a proton to water forming H3O+. </span>
<span>Lewis acids are electron pair acceptors, and Lewis bases are electron pair donors. For instance, H+ + OH- => H20. H+ has no electrons, so when it bonds to the Oxygen, it gains an electron pair. OH- "loses" an electron pair.</span>

An ionic compound is composed of ionic bonds that are formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to the other. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive charge (cation) while that which gains electrons acquires a negative charge.
In the case of sodium chloride; Sodium Na has 1 electron in its outer orbital while Chlorine Cl has 7 electrons. Thus, Cl requires 1 electron to complete its octet. This electron is donated by Na.
Thus, NaCl is essentially, Na⁺Cl⁻
Ans D) Chlorine becomes an anion by gaining an electron from sodium
