A colorless or white crystalline compound, NaCl, used in the manufacture of chemicals and as a food preservative and seasoning.
its not a crystal its an electrotastic compound formed by ionic particles by: Mr chemistry teachear- doctor tembleque Alternate answer: yes, it is a crystal, specifically face-centered cubic.
Sodium and chlorine are the reactants; sodium chloride is the product.
When sodium chloride is dissolved in water, it dissociates into sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). This forms a solution of sodium chloride where the ions are free to move and conduct electricity.
A crystal of sodium chloride is formed when individual sodium and chloride ions come together in a repeating pattern to create a three-dimensional structure. This process is driven by electrostatic forces of attraction between the positively charged sodium ions and the negatively charged chloride ions. As more ions join the crystal lattice, a solid structure is formed with a regular geometric shape.
It is a sodium chloride crystal.
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
The reactants in this hypothetical reaction are sodium and chlorine. See the related question for details on a better way to make sodium chloride in practice.
A pure crystal of sodium chloride is transparent.
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte containg ions as Na+ and Cl-. Sodium solid crystal is not an electrolyte, is not dissociated.
A sodium chloride crystal typically has a cubic shape. It is composed of alternating sodium and chloride ions arranged in a repeating pattern that forms a cubic lattice structure.
Sodium chloride is formed from an ionic bond between a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. This electrostatic attraction results in the formation of a crystal lattice structure.
