What is the sodium chlorine molecule?
Sodium chloride is encountered as an ionic solid, with a giant ionic lattice structure, containing Na+ and Cl- ions. Sodium chloride in the solid state is not molecularIn sodium chloride vapour at high temperatures there are discrete NaCl diatomic molecules
The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is but the bond in sodium chloride NaCl is?
pure covalent; ionic
Which of these elements is not diatomic potassium chlorine iodine or hydrogen?
Potassium Chloride is not diatomic. Although chloride is a diatomic molecule (BrINClHOF), the formula for Potassium Chloride is KCl not KCl2. Therefore, it is not diatomic.
What does a sodium chloride bond look like?
In the giant ionic lattice each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions in and octahedral array. Likewise each chlorine is surrounded by 6 sodium atoms. Molecular NaCl , formed at high temperature in the gas phase is found a diatomic molecules NaCl as well as (NaCl)n . The diatomic molecule has a very high dipole moment indicating that the bonding is principally ionic.
Is sodium diatomic?
No
What type of atom is in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Which substance is a compound carbon chloride sodium chloride sodium?
Sodium chloride is a compound.
Is sodium chloride carcinogenic?
Sodium chloride is not a cause of cancer.
Is sodium chloride or sodium fluoride stronger?
sodium chloride
What does Sodium chloride have?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
What elements are in sodium chloride other than sodium and chloride?
Sodium and chlorine are the only elements in sodium chloride.
