Question

When Na and Cl are mixed together, they will form ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from Na to Cl. This results in the formation of table salt (NaCl). Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, hydrogen bonds involve a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom, and carbon bonds involve the bonding of carbon atoms to other atoms, but none of these apply in this scenario.
