Answer:
Electron dot diagram is attached below
Explanation:
Sodium is alkali metal and present in group one. It has one valence electron. All alkali metal form salt when react with halogens.
Sodium loses its one electron to get stable. While all halogens have seven valence electrons they need only one electron to get stable electronic configuration.
When alkali metals such as sodium react with halogen fluorine it loses its one valence electron which is accepted by fluorine and ionic bond is formed. The compound formed is called sodium fluoride.
Na + F → NaF
In cross and dot diagram electrons of one atom are shown as dots while other atom shown as cross to distinguish.

Understanding chemistry and its principles enables us to predict and understand various properties of substances. For example, because we know that ionic bonds are very strong and difficult to break, we know that any substance that has these bonds will have a high melting point, because melting is a process that requires the intermolecular bonds present in the solid state to be broken. This can be applied to table salt, sodium chloride, which has an ionic structure and a melting point of almost 800 degrees Celsius. Similarly, many other properties and characteristics may be predicted using concepts of chemistry.
