OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cl2 and 2Na

OpenStudy (australopithecus):

"Sodium, being a metal, will lose electrons; it has one valence electron so it loses one electron and forms a +1 charged ion. Chlorine is a nonmetal, and will gain electrons. It has room to gain one electron, so when it does that, it forms a -1 charged ion called the chloride ion. So with a +1 charge and a - 1 charge, the formula for sodium chloride is NaCl.
