Each electron has a charge of 1–, and each proton has a charge of 1+. You can calculate the charge of an atom by subtracting the number of electrons from the number of protons. Move an electron from the sodium to the chlorine atom.

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

The creation of bonds:  

[tex]Na \to Sodium \\\\Cl \to Chlorine[/tex]  

Na has one electron of valence, and Cl has 7 electrons of valence. The transfer of electrons should be made to form a relation of such a nature. All relations among ionic and non is here Sodium is the metal and chlorine is the non-metal.

[tex]\to Na \longrightarrow Na^{+} + e^{-}[/tex]

Neon isoelectronic

[tex]\to Cl + e \longrightarrow Cl^{-}[/tex]

Argon  isoelectronic

[tex]\to Na+Cl \longrightarrow NaCl\\\\\to Na^{+} + Cl^{-} \longrightarrow Na^{+}Cl^{-}\\\\[/tex]

Answer:

A.What are the charges of each atom now?

Sodium: +1___ Chlorine: __-1___  

B.Is each ion stable? Explain.

-Electromagnetic force pulls them together
