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-.

How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
What types of ions are presented in salt?
In a slat positive ions and negative ions. In common salt, sodium chloride, sodium ions, Na+ and chloride ions Cl-
What happend to the sodium chloride crystals when added to 5ml of water?
water molecule will splits sodium chloride to sodium ions and chloride ions via hydrogen bonding.
What holds the ions in sodium chloride together?
The positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions attract each other.
What element combined with chloride ion would form an ionic compound?
Chloride ions would form elements with ions of metallic elements. For example, with sodium ions, chloride ions form sodium chloride.
How can an atom of sodium an atom of chlorine form a molecule of sodium chloride?
sodium gives one electron to form sodium cation. chlorine accepts one electron to form chloride anion sodium chloride consists of an array or sodium ions and chloride ions
The attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions form what kind of bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Can you explain formation of sodium chloride from sodium and chloride ions?
Sodium ions have positive charge whereas chloride ions have negative charge. They alternatively form electrostatic bonds to create the NaCl lattice which is ionic.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Does sodium ions plus chloride ions equal sodium chloride?
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
What are the ions in sodium chloride solution?
Na+ (sodium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). (There are also a small number of dissociated H+ and OH- ions as well)
Is sodium chloride a mixture substance?
Sodium chloride, NaCl, is a compound, which is a pure substance. It is a compound because sodium ions and chloride ions chemically bond to each other to form the ionic compound NaCl.
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.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
How does sodium and chloride particles are arrange in a crystal of sodium chloride?
Na+ and Cl- ions alternatively arranges in lines in three dimension space to form the sodium chloride lattice. It is a cubic lattice where the ions are located in the corners of cubes.
Why can't solid sodium chloride conduct electricity and aqueous sodium chloride can?
Because when sodium chloride is in a solid form it is in a lattice structure, this means the ions are fixed in place. If they can't move they can't carry the electrical current. When sodium chloride is in aqueous form the ions are free to move, therefore they can carry the current. Hope this helps :)
