    Answer: One electron

    Explanation:

    Sodium Na, has atomic number of 11, and a configuration of 2, 8, 1

    Chlorine Cl, has atomic number of 17, and a configuration of 2, 8, 7

    Thus, to form an ionic bond Sodium transfer its one outermost electron to chlorine.

    Hence Sodium becomes Na + (2,8) while Chlorine becomes Cl - (2, 8, 8) in NaCl and both have stable octet structure.
