Chlorine is highly reactive because it really wants an extra electron, and will try to rip it away from anything it can

similarly sodium really wants yo get rid of an electron

So if you put the two together they are all happy and chlorine gets its electron and now they are perfectly fine as they are and aren’t that reactive anymore
