What creates the "bond" between the sodium and chlorine ions?

answer: i believe it is: :)

>>The classic case of ionic bonding, the sodium chloride molecule forms by the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting ions.>>

>>An atom of sodium has one 3s electron outside a closed shell, and it takes only 5.14 electron volts of energy to remove that electron.

>>This type of chemical bond is called an ionic bond because the bond formed between two ions of opposite charge. The sodium cation (Na+) and the chlorine anion (Cl-) are attracted to one another to form sodium chloride, or table salt.>>

>>Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. ... The picture below shows both a sodium and a chlorine ion. Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell, and chlorine has 7 electrons.>>
