The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion attract each other (opposite charges attract.) The attraction between ions is very strong and the result is ionic bond because of the strong attraction between these ions millions of them bond together forming crystals.

Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
When one molecule of sodium combines with one molecule of chlorine what is formed?
Sodium ions and chlorine ions form sodium chloridemolecules; this forms salt crystals; table salt to be more precise!Equations:Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaClIonic equation: Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
When sodium chloride forms what are the charges on the sodium and chloride ion?
Sodium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
The attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions form what kind of bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
What atoms are found in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride contains sodium and chlorine ions, which are electrically charged atoms.
What is sodium chloride made up from?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
How many ions are required to form sodium Chloride?
Your phrasing is slightly off. It does not require ions to form sodium chloride; that compound is made from atoms of sodium and chlorine (one of each). Once the compound is formed, the sodium and chlorine then become ions, Na+ and Cl-.
What would be formed when sodium chloride is dissolved in water?
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.
When sodium chloride is dissolved in water a chemical reaction occurs in which sodium chloride is the reactant and sodium ions and chloride ions are the?
When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water, the resulting sodium and chloride ions are said to be the products. Product is a general term for any substance which results as the result of a chemical reaction. Thus, if the solution was to be boiled and the ions formed into a solid, the products and reactants would be reversed.
Is sodium chloride a molecule?
No, sodium chloride is not a molecule. It is an ionic compound formed by the combination of sodium ions and chloride ions. Each sodium chloride crystal consists of a repeating pattern of sodium and chloride ions held together by ionic bonds.
What are salt crystal made up of?
Salt crystals are primarily made up of sodium and chloride ions arranged in a repeating pattern called a crystal lattice. These ions are bonded together through ionic bonds, which are formed when electrons are transferred from the sodium atoms to the chloride atoms. The structure of the crystal lattice gives salt its distinctive cubic shape.
What is the difference between Sodium chloride and ammonium chloride solutions?
Sodium chloride solution contains sodium ions and chloride ions, formed by dissolving table salt in water. Ammonium chloride solution contains ammonium ions and chloride ions, formed by dissolving ammonium chloride salt in water. The main difference is in the cation present in each solution, with sodium in sodium chloride solution and ammonium in ammonium chloride solution.
Is sodium chloride an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine formed by ionic bonding of sodium ions and chlorine ions.
What change does the sodium atom have after combining with chlorine?
In presence of chlorine, sodium atoms will discharge electrons to give sodium ions to combine with chloride ions followed by forming a lattice of sodium chloride.
How many hydrogen atoms are in salt?
There are no hydrogen atoms in salt (sodium chloride). Salt is composed of sodium and chlorine ions, not hydrogen atoms.
