What happens to electrons when sodium reacts with chlorine?

An electron is transferred from sodium to chlorine

Why does solid sodium chloride not conduct electricity?

The ions are fixed in place and cannot move

A shared pair of electrons between non-metal atoms

Only weak intermolecular forces between molecules need overcoming

Each carbon has one delocalised electron free to move

Weak forces between layers let the layers slide

Positive ions in a sea of delocalised electrons

Layers of ions can slide while the electron sea holds them together

Different-sized atoms distort the layers so they cannot slide easily
