The atoms in salt are held together by?
Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What force holds salt together?
The transfer of electrons from the sodium to the chlorine, bicarbonate, ect.
Are the particles in common salt held by weak attractive forces?
No, the particles in salt are Sodium ions (Na+) and Chlorine ions (Cl-) which are held together by the electrostatic force in ionic bonds which are strong. This is why salt has a high melting point.
What force holds together an ion in a salt?
Electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged particles. For example consider sodium chloride NaCl. If the compound were to be broken down into its ions it would look like Na+ and a Cl- the opposite charges attract and hold the individual ions together forming a crystal lattice, a solid.
What happens to salt molecules when dissolved in water?
The salt molecules are "torn apart" by the water, and are reduced to sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) ions. It is the ions that go into solution and "float around" there. Note that elemental sodium and elemental chlorine are not what is in solution. The ions are. Salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic molecule; an ionic bond holds salt together.
What attracive force holds one chlorine atom and one sodium atom together to make the substance salt?
Chemical bonding
How do water molecules dissolve in salt?

Note that elemental sodium and elemental chlorine are not what is in solution. The ions are. Salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic molecule; an ionic bond holds salt together.
Which bonds hold ions together in table salt?
Ionic bonds are present in table salt.
What holds ions and sodium chloride together?
It is the electromagnetic force as it is expressed in what is called an ionic chemical bond that holds individual molecules of table salt (NaCl) together.
How do you know ions come from table salt?
they come together and dissolved
The attractive force between sodium ions and chloride ions results in an arrangement of ions in repeating units arrangement of ions in repeating units arranged to form what?
I assume you have Chemistry, not my favorite class this year but anyways..The attractive force pulls many ions together into a tightly packed structure. The tight packing of the ions causes any salt, such as sodium chloride, to have a distinctive crystal structure. Crystal structure is your answer.Cool fact.The smallest crystal of table salt that you could see would still have more than a billion billion sodium and chloride ions!Good day
What type of chemical bonds are present in salt?
Salt crystals are held together with ionic bonds. For example, table salt, NaCl, is composed of two ions. The Na ion is positive and the Cl ion is negative. The charges on these ions hold them together into the molecule NaCl. You can think about this like magnets. The positive end is attracted to the negative end of another magnet. This holds the magnets together.
