Sodium chloride is an ionic compound that has a crystalline structure. Each sodium ion (Na+) interacts with 6 chloride ions (Cl-) on each side of it, and each Cl- interacts with the 6 Na+ around it. In a single salt crystal, there are millions and millions of ionic bonds. To melt an ionic material, you have to break each of those ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are not that weak, and when you try to break all of them it takes a lot of energy! Ionic compounds are different than molecular ones in this way. To melt ice, for instance, you don't have to break the bonds in water, you just have break the much weaker attractive forces between two water molecules that are next to each other (called intermolecular forces). These types of attractive forces are much easier to breaker than ionic bonds, and so most molecular compounds have lower melting point than do ionic ones. Most ionic compounds have very very high melting points in fact.
because sodium chloride is an ionic bond and so it is a very strong bond. So it takes alot of energy to break the bonds between the atoms
because they are made wit different materials
Because it is a solid ionic compound exists as the crystal lattice, such compounds have high melting points but are easily soluble in water.
Because it is an ionic compound.
Yes salts have a low melting point. I think...
No. It has a melting point, which is relatively high, and it can be dissolved in water. Once disolved in water, to form a Sodium chloride solution, if some other substance, such as Silver nitrate could be added which would produce a Sodium nitrate solution and a precipitate of Silver chloride. If this were done carefully no Sodium chloride would remain so you could say that it had been "destroyed."
Barium chloride or BaCl2
high melting point
it has a low melting point
Sodium chloride is a ionic compound. Generally they have high melting points.
The melting point of sodium chloride ( NaCl ) is 801 °C, 1074 K, 1474 °F.
No , table salt (sodium chloride) has a melting point of 801°C
NaCl (sodium chloride)
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
Sublimation - on gentle heating ammonium chloride will sublime. Sodium Chloride does not and has a high melting point.
Because sodium chloride has a strong ionic bond.
Salt as its commonly called has a very high boiling point, 2575 degrees F. or 1413 degrees Celsius.
not sure about it yet but you may try wish123. Might help you. thanks
The boiling point of sodium chloride is 1 413 0C.
It has a very high melting point, whereas most molecular substances have lower melting points. When it dissolves in water, the sodium and chloride ions dissociate and the resulting salt water conducts electricity.
