Sodium chloride is a chemical compound, not a mixture.
No sodium chloride is not a heterogeneous mixture.
Yes, sodium chloride is a compound, a salt - NaCl.
Sodium Chloride is a molecule. A molecule contains 2 or more atoms. Each molecule of Sodium Chloride contains 1 sodium atom and 1 chloride atom.
In a sodium chloride crystal, each sodium atom is surrounded by 6 chloride atoms in a regular octahedral arrangement due to the ionic bonding between the sodium cation and chloride anion.

Ionic bond
No they are not. For starters, their names are different. Secondly, in one molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl), there is one atom of sodium to each chloride atom. In sodium hydroxide (NaOH), there is one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom. Sodium chloride is known as salt, and sodium hydroxide is known as lye, or caustic soda.
When a sodium atom and a chlorine atom come into contact, the sodium atom will donate one electron to the chlorine atom, forming a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. These ions are then attracted to each other through electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond and creating a molecule of sodium chloride.
The chlorine atom.
The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which indicates that it is made up of one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. Sodium chloride is commonly known as table salt.
A NaCl (sodium chloride) atom contains one sodium (Na) atom and one chlorine (Cl) atom. Sodium has 11 protons and chlorine has 17 protons. They bond together through an ionic bond to form the compound sodium chloride.
