One electron is lost by the sodium atom to become a positively charged sodium ion (Na+), and one electron is gained by the chlorine atom to become a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-). These oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond between them, and this is how sodium chloride (NaCl), also referred to as table salt, is formed.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
