Bonding equations

Na → Na⁺ + e⁻
Cl + e⁻ → Cl⁻
Na⁺ + Cl⁻ → NaCl
F = k |q₁q₂| ÷ r²
U = kq₁q₂ ÷ r + A ÷ r⁸

Learning outcomes

Identify electron donors and acceptors.
Explain how ions gain opposite charges.
Relate separation to electrostatic attraction.
Connect ion arrangement to lattice properties.

Try this

Compare NaCl with MgO.
After transfer, reduce separation and watch the force graph.
Tap a moving electron and use slow motion.
