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.

How can you describe the arrangement of sodium ions and chloride ions in a crystal of sodium ions?
The lattice of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic. The chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium cations.
Describe a way to remove sodium chloride?
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.
Describe the solution process of sodium chloride?
In a water solution sodium chloride is dissociated in Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion).
How can you describe the structure of sodium chloride?
Ionic. When solid: crystalic ion latice
Does sodium chloride have luster?
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.
Is it accurate to describe sodium chloride as consisting of individual particles each made up of one sodium cation and one chlorine anion?
No. Sodium chloride has a crystal lattice structure in which each sodium cation is surrounded by six chloride anions, and each chloride anion is surrounded by six sodium cations. The ratio of sodium cations to chloride ions is 1:1, which is reflected in its chemical formula NaCl, which is called a formula unit.
What type of atom is in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
What is chemical composition of salt?
The composition of salt is sodium chloride.
Which substance is a compound carbon chloride sodium chloride sodium?
Sodium chloride is a compound.
Is sodium chloride carcinogenic?
Sodium chloride is not a cause of cancer.
Is sodium chloride or sodium fluoride stronger?
sodium chloride
What does Sodium chloride have?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
