NaCl Lewis Structure

In the case of NaCl:

• Sodium (Na) donates one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration like neon (Na⁺).
• Chlorine (Cl) accepts one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration like argon (Cl⁻).

Therefore, the Lewis structure of NaCl would not include shared electron pairs between sodium and chlorine atoms. Instead, it's represented as Na⁺Cl⁻ to denote the transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other due to electrostatic forces to form the ionic compound sodium chloride.
