Parts and their functions

• Sodium atom, Na (2, 8, 1) (सोडियम परमाणु, Na (2, 8, 1)) — Only 1 valence electron (red) — easier to lose it than to gain 7.
• Chlorine atom, Cl (2, 8, 7) (क्लोरीन परमाणु, Cl (2, 8, 7)) — 7 valence electrons — needs just 1 more for an octet.
• Electron transfer (इलेक्ट्रॉन स्थानांतरण) — Na’s outer electron moves to Cl.
• Sodium cation, Na⁺ (सोडियम धनायन, Na⁺) — 11 protons, 10 electrons → charge +1. Octet (2, 8).
• Chloride anion, Cl⁻ (क्लोराइड ऋणायन, Cl⁻) — 17 protons, 18 electrons → charge −1. Octet (2, 8, 8).
• Ionic bond (आयनिक आबंध) — Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions holds Na⁺ and Cl⁻ together.
