When sodium atom comes close proximity to a chlorine atom it looses an electron to form Na^+ while chlorine atom gains an electron to form Cl^-.

An ionic compound is formed when electron(s) is/are transferred from a metal to a non metal. This leads to the formation of a cation (positively charged ion) and an anion (negatively charged ion). The both are kept together by electrostatic interaction between the ions involved to give an ion pair.

Sodium and chlorine form the ionic compound sodium chloride. The compound is formed when a sodium atom approaches a chlorine atom and looses its outermost electron to chlorine as shown in the image attached to this answer. When this occurs, sodium ions and chloride ions are formed as shown.

Answer from: samsavage4073

The diagram is attached below.

Explanation:

when sodium and chlorine comes close together they form anion and cation. The compound formed is called sodium chloride.

Both atoms bonded together through ionic bond.

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
