Answer:

1. Sodium has a charge of 1+ and chlorine has a charge of 1-

Explanation:

Sodium has 11 protons and 11 electrons. If you remove one electrons we now have only 10 electrons.

Hence; number of protons - number of electrons = 11 - 10 = +1

Sodium has a charge of +1

Chlorine has 17 electrons and 17 protons. if it gains 1 electron then it now has 18 electrons.

Hence; number of protons - number of electrons = 17 - 18 = -1

Chlorine has a charge of -1
