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

(Cl) is for chlorine
(Na) is for sodium
Most rock salt is 95-99% pure salt, except mechanically evaporated (used in food) and solar salt (sea salt) which is 99.99% pure.
I'm afraid I don't know what the rest is (which is annoying because I have a speaking test on it tomorrow!)
Pure salt is made up of 60.663% Chlorine and 39.337% Sodium.

What kind of rock is halite?
halite rock is a metamorphic rock
What kind of rocks is a halite rock?
Halite rocks are sedimentary rocks.
Why does halite dissolve in water?
