What do both sodium and chlorine achieve in the reaction?

A full outer energy level

29
New cards

What are the key facts about ionic bonding?

• Elements react to achieve a full outer energy level.

• Metals lose electrons, forming positive ions.

• Non-metals gain electrons, forming negative ions.

• Both ions achieve a stable electronic structure.
