Table salt (sodium chloride) is formed by ionic bond,where the metal (sodium) loses one electron from its outer most energy level and changes into a positive ion and the nonmetal (chlorine) gains the electron lost by sodium and changes into a negative ion.A strong electrical attraction between the positive and the negative ions occure forming sodium chloride (table salt). NA+CL=NACL.

What if sodium and chlorine bonded together?
You'd get sodium chloride ("salt").
What is the element present in sodium chloride?
There are two elements bonded together is sodium chloride: NaCl is made of sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-)
How do you say that sodium chloride is a compound and not a mixture?
The components of sodium chloride (sodium and chlorine) are chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio and definite structure. A mixture does not have these traits.
What react to sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride won't react with much, if anything, because it already was bonded together to become stable......Na+ bonds with a Cl-
Is chlorhexidine identical to sodium chloride?
Definitely not! Chlorhexidine is organic and covalently bonded while sodium chloride is inorganic and ionically bonded.
What non-metals can be bonded with metals to make salt?
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
How does a salt compound?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound because sodium and chlorine are chemically bonded.
If the compounds making up salt are toxic why isn't salt itself toxic?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine (these elements are bonded together) not a mixture with separated elements.
Why the term molecule is appropriate for hydrogen chloride but not for sodium chloride?
Hydrogen and chlorine are both nonmetals, and nonmetals form molecular compounds when bonded together. Sodium is a metal and chlorine is a nonmetal, and a metal and a nonmetal form an ionic compound.
What element is NaCl made of?
NaCl is made up of Sodium and Chlorine. The correct chemical name for it is Sodium Chloride.
If sodium and chlorine bonded together what would be the chemical formula of the new compound it is a ionic or covalent bonding?
The new compound is called "sodium chloride", has the formula NaCl, and has ionic bonds.
Is Na cl covalent or ionic bonded?
Bonding in NaCl is ionic bond.
