There ARE no compounds in NaCl. A compound is comprised of 2 or more elements. NaCl is a compound itself, compromised of 2 elements, Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine).

If a table salt Na Cl is formed when elements sodium Na and chlorine is Cl join list some properties of the compound Na Cl and the elements Na and Cl?
Salt (NaCl) is white, solid, salty, soluble in water, usually found in small granules, etc. Sodium (Na) is a silver/white, highly reactive alkali metal. Chlorine (Cl) is a greenish gas, and a halogen.
What are the symbols for sodium and chlorine?
The symbol for sodium is Na. The symbol for chlorine is Cl.
S na cl mg witch one is largest?
Na :)
Na and Cl cemically combined is?
NACl
What does ion make up?
Ions make up ionic compounds. For example, the sodium ion, Na+ and the chloride ion, Cl-, make up the ionic compound sodium chloride, NaCl.
What substances will dissolve into ions when combined with pure water?
Ionic compounds, such as Na+Cl-, H+Cl-; or polar compounds such as glucose.
Exaplin why structural formulas cannot be ionic substances?
Structural formulae are usually used to describe covalent molecular compounds. It is illogical to use structural formulae to describe ionic compounds because ionic compounds are typically lattice structures. This means that they are electrostatically fixed to one another, and what would normally be considered molecules run together as ions bond to multiple other ions. For example, NaCl would not look like: Na+-Cl- But rather- (Na+)-(Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (etc.) (Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (Na+)-etc (Na+)-(Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (etc.) etc.- etc- etc- etc
When struck with a sharp blow ionic compounds tend to what while metallic substances which are what change sharpe?
Ionic compounds tend to shatter when struck with a hammer. This is due to the crystal structure formed by an ionic compound, which is basically repeating units of negatively and positively charged ions in some sort of geometric arrangement. When struck, ions of similar charge and pushed next to each other. These ions repel and the whole crystal will then cleave apart along the crystal pattern. example: Left undisturbed NaCl crystal, right struck Na Cl :crys.tal breaks along crystal pattern Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Metallic bonds are better pictured as an electron sea, where all the metal atoms that are participating are freely sharing electrons amongst each other. Because of this there are no localized charges to repel each other, making metallic bonds far less susceptible to shattering.
What is splitting of ionic compounds into ions?
The name of this phenomenon is dissociation; an example: NaCl------------Na+ + Cl-
What is table salt in the periodic table?
Table salt is a compound made up of the elements Chlorine(Cl) and Sodium (Na) Compounds do not appear on the Periodic Chart. You can find Cl and Na on the chart.
Do compounds have all of the characteristic of the elements that form them?
NO. Do you think table salt (NaCl) is anything like chlorine (Cl)? Na is a metal; Cl is a gas.
What do all ionic compounds contain?
a metal and a nonmetal. For example, NaCl. Na is the metal, and Cl is the nonmetal.
What is the reaction of Na Cl -- Na-Cl?
NaCl-----------------Na+ + Cl-is a dissociation reaction.
What happens when sodium chloride dissolves in water?
It easily dissolves and is disassociated.
Why would chlorine and two atoms of sodium reacts to make an ionic compounds?
because Na passes it electron of its last shell to cl and follows octet rule thus an ionic compound na-cl+ is formed
What is The expect value for 'i' for Na Cl is?
2: Na+, Cl-
Why is salt getting formed a chemical change?
in their natural state, Na and Cl are neutral, unstable. When reacting, Na will lose an electron to Cl, and the resulting Na+ is eletrostatically attracted to Cl-. In the end, two neutral unstable compounds form a single polar, stable compound that is neither reactive like sodium or toxic like chlorine
