Sodium chloride is a salt, meaning that it is a chemical compound that consists of a positively charged cation, in this case the sodium ion, and a negatively charged anion, in this case the chloride ion.
Sodium chloride is an easily soluable salt, so when it is mixed into water, it will turn into chloride and sodium ions. Reversibly, when the water is evaporated from a solution containing sodium and chloride ions, sodium chloride will form.
An example of the formation of sodium chloride is when the strong base sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the strong acid hydrochloric acid (HCl) are mixed into the same solution, which is then evaporated:
NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) => Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + H2O (l) => NaCl (s) + H2O (g)

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
What are the elements that form sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine.
Can dissolved salt separate into sodium and chloride when it has electrical current running through it?
Sodium Chloride dissolved in water will form sodium but sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide, molten sodium chloride will do it .
What is sodium chloride plus water?
Sodium chloride form with water saline solutions.
How does sodium and chloride bond to form salt?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Does sodium chloride form when sodium hydroxide reacts with water?
No Sodium hydroxide solution results -- not sodium chloride.
When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond what is the bond called?
When sodium and chloride join together an electron from sodium is transferred to the chloride to form a bond. This bond is called an ionic bond.
When sodium and chlorine combine to form sodium chloride sodium chloride is the?
It is the product.
What is the reaction of sulfur chloride and sodium hydroxide?
It will form sodium chloride and sulfur hydroxide
What base could you mix together to form sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride is the product of the reaction between sodium hydroxide and hydrogen chloride.
What kind of bond does NaCl make?
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds; sodium chloride form a giant lattice.
Sodium chloride and water?
Sodium chloride is very soluble in water and form saline solutions.
