Formation of sodium chloride, artwork
Formation of sodium chloride, artwork. At left are sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms. At right is a molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl), or salt. This is an example of ionic bonding. Sodium, a metal, has a single electron in its outer shell. Chlorine, a non-metal, has seven out of a possible eight electrons in its outer shell. The sodium atom gives its outer electron to the chlorine atom, forming an ionic bond

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Formation of Sodium Chloride" beautifully captures the intricate process of ionic bonding. Against a pristine white background, the left side showcases sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) atoms in all their elemental glory. On the right side, a magnificent molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as salt, takes center stage. The artwork highlights the fascinating chemistry behind this iconic compound. Sodium, being a metal with a single electron in its outer shell, generously donates its lone electron to chlorine—a non-metal that possesses seven electrons out of eight needed for stability. This selfless act forms an electrifying ionic bond between them. Through this visual representation, we witness how elements come together to create something greater than themselves. The diagrammatic illustration emphasizes the significance of each atom's role in establishing this electrovalent connection. With meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy, Science Photo Library expertly portrays the molecular dance that occurs during salt formation. This print serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece—showcasing the beauty hidden within chemical reactions. Whether you are captivated by chemistry or simply appreciate stunning visuals, this artwork invites you into the world where atoms unite to form compounds essential for life itself.
