Sodium chloride is an ionic salt.
I would describe sodium chloride as an ionic compound made up of the elements sodium and chlorine. Sodium and chloride ions occupy alternate positions in a giant lattice structure with strong ionic bonds between them. Sodium chloride is the table salt that we are all familiar with.
The lattice of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic. The chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium cations.
In a water solution sodium chloride is dissociated in Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion).
Ionic. When solid: crystalic ion latice
Sodium chloride can be removed from solution by distillation. Boiling a solution of sodium chloride will cause the water to boil off and the sodium chloride to be left behind. If the water vapor is then condensed, the water obtained will be free of sodium chloride.
Asking if something "has luster" is about the same as asking if it "has appearance". EVERYTHING has a luster, the question is "what kind?" For halite, most people would describe it as a glassy or vitreous luster.
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound made up of sodium ions and chloride ions, not molecules. A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, but in ionic compounds, ions are held together by electrostatic forces, not covalent bonds. This is why the term "molecule" is not used to describe sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride is a compound.
Sodium chloride is not a cause of cancer.
Sodium chloride is formed.
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
