Halite is the mineral form of the common salt. It dissolves in water because water is a polar molecule and halite contains an ionic bond, which makes it water soluble.
halite. quartz has a stronger bond making it harder to pull the atoms apart
Halite is rock salt, NaCl, not a silicate. In the halite structure each sodium is surrounded octahedrally by 6 chloride ions, and each chloride is surrounded octahedrally by 6 sodium ions
an ionic bond, since halite is made up of Sodium and Chlorine, a non metal and a metal, ionic bonds are made up of nonmetals and metals. A covalent bond, however, is made up of a nonmetal and a nonmetal

IONIC BOND
It is ionic
This is an ionic bond.

ionic compound
ionic bond because Na is metal and F is non metal.
It is ionic bond. Mg2+ + S2--------> MgS.
