Which are the most likely products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas?
a. only sodium metal atoms
b. only a chlorine gas molecule
c. only sodium chloride compounds
d. only sodium metal atoms and a chlorine gas molecule

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas then there will be formation of sodium chloride.

This formation of compound arises due to transfer of one valence electron from sodium to chlorine atom. As a result, an ionic compound NaCl is formed.

The chemical reaction equation for the same is as follows.

Hence, we can conclude that the MOST LIKELY products of the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas is only sodium chloride compounds.
