Is table salt a covalent or ionic bond?

Answer 1

NaCl is a ionic because here transfer of electron takes place

Answer 2

Proving that either Salt is ionic or covalent, we need to understand the structure of salt. In one molecule of slat there is one Chlorine and one Sodium. Chlorine is a non-metal (look in the period table) and sodium is a metal.

The definition for ionic bond is when a metal and non-metal element comes together and covalent bond when two non-metal element comes together sharing their outer or valance electron.

From this, a metal and a non-metal coming together makes an ionic bond as sodium happily gives away its valance electron to stabilise itself and chlorine adopts the free electron from sodium to stabilise its valance shell.

Answer 3

it's ionic according to mycool phisics teacher
a salt is a metal which loose electrons to have a noble gas structure is a positive ion
and a non metal e.g chlorine is negative.(gains electrons)

positive atrracts the negative and this forms ionic bond
most salts are giant ionic crystals

Answer 4

Yes. Salt is ionic. In fact, the main part of a definition of a salt is that it is ionic.

Answer 5

It's whatever it sets it mind to. Just like you can be.

Answer 6

Table salt, as example is an ionic compound. NaCl. Composed of the ions, Na(+), donated an electron to Cl, and Cl(-), which accepted an electron from Na. All in solution.

Answer 7

Salt water is sodium chloride dissolved in water and it is ionic (Na+ and Cl- ions are formed)

Answer 8

ionic.NaCl is ionic
