What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
What types of ions are presented in salt?
In a slat positive ions and negative ions. In common salt, sodium chloride, sodium ions, Na+ and chloride ions Cl-
What happend to the sodium chloride crystals when added to 5ml of water?
water molecule will splits sodium chloride to sodium ions and chloride ions via hydrogen bonding.
Why does molten sodium chloride conduct electricity but crystalline magnesium chloride does not?
In the molten state the ions of sodium chloride are free to move. Magnesium chloride would also conduct if it were molten. Since the ions of the magnesium chloride are bound together in the crystal lattice they cannot carry a current.
What holds ions together in sodium chloride?
This is a strong ionic bond.
What type of attractive force or bond holds the sodium ions and chloride ions together in a crystal of sodium chloride?
They are held together by an electrostatic force causing an ionic bond.
What force holds the ions In sodium chloride?
an electrovalent force
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.
What holds the ions together in a crystal?
Halite or sodium chloride! :D u r special just believe it u r awesome <3
Orientation sodium ions and chloride ions?
When added together, yields sodium chloride, or what is known as table salt used in common households.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Does sodium ions plus chloride ions equal sodium chloride?
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
How are ions in a sodium chloride held together?
Between the ions Na+ and Cl- a strong ionic bond exist.
What force hold the ions together in sodium chloride?
an electrovalent force
What holds ions together in a crystal?
sodium :)
How does the strength of the attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions compare with the strength of the attraction between the sodium ions and chloride ions?
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
