Not in the slightest.

First, they are not molecules, they are ionic compounds.

Second, they are two very different substances.

CaO is calcium oxide, consisting of the elements calcium and oxygen. It is commonly called lime or quicklime. It is very alkaline (basic) and is commonly used to neutralize acidic soil.

NaCl is sodium chloride, consisting of the elements sodium and chlorine. It is commonly called salt or table salt. It has no acid/base properties. It is commonly used to flavor food and melt ice

Why would it be inaccurate to speak of an NaCl molecule?

It would be inaccurate to speak of an NaCl molecule because NaCl is an ionic compound, not a molecule. NaCl is formed from an ionic bond between sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-), not from the sharing of electrons between atoms like in a covalent molecule.

NaCl


Is NaCl compound or molecule?

NaCl is a compound, not a molecule. This is because NaCl is created when the elements sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) chemically bond together to form a new substance with different properties from its individual elements.


What the molecule of salt NaCl?

Today NaCl is considered the formula unit of sodium chloride, not the true chemical formula of the molecule; NaCl form very complex lattices, as other ionic salts.

Which have the highest boiling point mgo and cao or nacl and hcl or co2 and so2?

MgO and CaO have higher boiling points compared to NaCl and HCl, and CO2 and SO2. This is because MgO and CaO are ionic compounds that have stronger electrostatic forces between ions, leading to higher boiling points. NaCl and HCl are also ionic compounds but have lower boiling points compared to MgO and CaO. CO2 and SO2 are molecular compounds with weaker intermolecular forces, resulting in lower boiling points compared to the ionic compounds.
