Answer

In sodium fluoride (NaF), an ionic bond forms through the transfer of electrons:

  • Sodium (Na) loses one electron (2, 8, 1 → 2, 8) to become Na+.
  • Fluorine (F) gains one electron (2, 7 → 2, 8) to become F.

The electrostatic attraction between Na⁺ and F⁻ creates the ionic bond in NaF.
