Show answer
The sodium atom loses its outer electron to form Na⁺; the chlorine atom gains that electron to form Cl⁻. The oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrostatic attraction.

Explain why ionic compounds have high melting points.
Show answer
They form giant lattices with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions, which need a large amount of energy to break.
