Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.
Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.
Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}

Photosynthesis. Easy ;) have a nice day
2Cu + S = Cu₂S
S⁰ + 2e⁻ = S⁻²
Cu⁰ - 1e⁻ = Cu⁺¹
A sulfur atom gains two electrons.
