The compound sodium chloride forms when outer-shell electrons leave metallic sodium atoms and combine with nonmetal chlorine atoms. Each sodium atom turns into a positive
N
a
+ ion when it loses a single outer-shell electron during the chemical reaction process.

All the reactant chlorine atoms turn into negative
C
l
– ions as they gain these single outer-shell electrons. During the reaction, the electron number of sodium decreases by one and the electron number of chlorine increases by one.

Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds. Both types result in the stable electronic states associated with the noble gases. However, in covalent bonds, the electrons are shared between the two atoms. All ionic bonds have some covalent character, but the larger the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms, the greater the ionic character of the interaction.

Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation

Ionic bonding results in compounds known as ionic, or electrovalent, compounds, which are best exemplified by the compounds formed between nonmetals and the alkali and alkaline-earth metals

# data[].attributes.body
Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom. The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). A brief treatment of ionic bonds follows. For full treatment, see chemical bonding: The formation of ionic bonds.
