describe, as fully as you can, what happens when sodium reacts with fluorine to produce sodium fluorine.
A
•the sodium atom loses one electron to become a positively charged ion, (na+).
•the electron is transferred to the fluorine atom to become a negatively charged ion (f-).
•they do this in order to become stable.
•oppositely charged ions attract to form an ionic bond.
