Neither. NaCl is an ionic compound and does not form molecules. It forms a crystal lattice in which every ion is surrounded by six ions of opposite charge. The formula NaCl is a formula unit which gives the simplest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.

Is nacl a atom?
no. na is an atom. cl is an atom. together they form nacl, a diatomic molecule :) and a grammar lesson for free, its an atom, not a atom.
Is NaCl compound or molecule?
NaCl is a molecule composed of two atoms Na and Cl.
How much chlorine is in NaCl?
One atom of chlorine per molecule of NaCl.
What is in a NaCl atom?
A molecule of NaCl (Sodium chloride) is comprised of Sodium and Chlorine.
What is the chemically make-up of salt?
A salt molecule has one sodium atom and one chlorine atom, NaCl.
How many atoms are in halite?
Halite is sodium chloride, NaCl; NaCl has in the molecule two atoms: 1 Na atom and 1 chlorine atom.
Would it be correct to call NaCl salt a molecule?
Yes. A molecule consists of a number of atoms bonded together, NaCl is one atom of Sodium and one atom of Chlorine. However, a crystal of table salt will contain many molecules of NaCl.
How many atoms of sodium Na are there in the formula for table salt NaCl?
NaCl is one atom of Na and one atom of Cl. Therefore, each molecule of NaCl has 2 atoms each, combined.
How many atoms of sodium Na are there in the formula for the table salt that is NaCl?
One molecule has two atoms (one Na and one Cl). So 3NaCl will have six atoms.
Chemical formula giving the number of each type of atom in a molecule?
Yes, it is true. Example: NaCl; 1 atom of sodium, 1 atom of chlorine.
What is the number of atom for common salt?
Sodium chloride is not an atom, so it doesn't have an atomic number.
What is a representative particle of sodium chloride?
Na is the symbol for the element sodium (an atom). Cl is the symbol for the element chlorine (an atom). Since there are no subscripts it means that the elements bond in a 1 to 1 ratio. This means in one molecule of salt one sodium atom is bound to one chloride atom.
