The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C.
Liquid sodium chloride would be salt in its molten state... in solution, salt is dissolved in another liquid, often water..
It is a liquid after 801 0C.
Your question is not so clear; but: - liquid water - (H2O)l - water vapour- (H2O)g - sodium chloride as a solid - (NaCl)s
Phases are denoted with (s) (l) or (g) and aqueous solutions are (aq) ex: H2O(g) - water vapor H2O(l) - liquid water NaCl(aq) - aqueous sodium chloride NaCl(s) - solid sodium chloride
Sodium chloride, like most everything else, can exist in any of the three states. Considering standard pressure, it exists as a gas above 1465°C, which is very hot, but possible. It is a liquid between 801-1465°C. It is solid at all temperatures below 801°C. The melting point is so high because ionic bonds are the strongest type of intermolecular forces.
That would leave you with NaCl solution. Salt water.
Evaporate the water.
Electrolysis of molten sodium chloride will yield chlorine gas and liquid sodium metal which will cool to solid sodium metal. Electrolysis is best though reaction of molten NaCl with potassium, rubidium or cesium would be an alternative (not producing chlorine but exchanging metals to form the other chlorides).Actually any of these reactions are not a (physical) extraction as said in the question.
A water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
it would be the solute
Water solution of sodium chloride is neutral.
In a flame, sodium chloride produces a bright orange-yellow colour.
