What is the shape of a sodium chloride crystal?
Sodium chloride crystallizes into cubes.
What are salt crystal made up of?
sodium chloride
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 basic shape is the crystalline structure of NaCI?
Crystals of sodium chloride are cubic, but this refers to their microstructure. A larger scale crystal of sodium chloride can have almost any shape.
Which are the reactants When you mix sodium which is a soft silvery metal with chloride which is a yellowish gas a solid white crystal called sodium chloride is formed?
Sodium and chlorine are the reactants; sodium chloride is the product.
The force that holds a sodium ion and a chloride ion together in a crystal of NaCl comes from?
*the attractive force between opposite electrical charges
What is the shape of a sodium chloride crystal?
Sodium chloride crystallizes into cubes.
Why are Sodium Chloride Crystals cubed shaped?
It is a sodium chloride crystal.
Sodium chloride atoms form a crystal lattice that is held together by?
opposite charges.
Is sodium chloride a white powder?
A pure crystal of sodium chloride is transparent.
Why does a sodium chloride crystal not conduct electricity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Why does a mixture of sodium chloride and water conduct electricity but sodium chloride crystal does not?
Sodium chloride solution is an electrolyte containg ions as Na+ and Cl-. Sodium solid crystal is not an electrolyte, is not dissociated.
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
Are sodium chloride and diamond isomorphic?
The crystal system is cubic for sodium chloride and diamond.
In a crystal of sodium chloride each sodium ion is attracted to what?
chloride ions surrounding it
What tipe of crystal is sodium chloride?
Yes it is a crystal. It is a lattice compound.
Is sodium chloride a crystalline structure?
its not a crystal its an electrotastic compound formed by ionic particles by: Mr chemistry teachear- doctor tembleque Alternate answer: yes, it is a crystal, specifically face-centered cubic.
