Na is the symbol for the element sodium (an atom).
Cl is the symbol for the element chlorine (an atom).
Since there are no subscripts it means that the elements bond in a 1 to 1 ratio.
This means in one molecule of salt one sodium atom is bound to one chloride atom.
You think probable to the formula unit - NaCl.
It would be called sodium chlorine because they are combined
The formula unit of sodium chloride is NaCl.
The answer is difficult: a true molecule of NaCl doesn't exist - sodium chloride form large lattices. NaCl is only the formula unit.
1 mole of NaCl contain 6,022 141 29(27)×1023 molecules.
it is a molecule
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a chemical compound.
A molecule of sodium chloride A molecule of sodium chloride
formula unit
You think probable to atoms of sodium and chlorine.
You should not inject sodium chloride.
If you think to formula unit this is Na2S.
it exists as a giant ionic structure
The two elements that make the compound "salt", are sodium (metal) and chloride (non-metal). These two elements are bonded together to create sodium chloride as we call it "salt". Sodium particle-> O + O <-Chloride particle = Sodium chloride (salt).
Sodium chloride is not a molecule, it is a crystalline solid in which the sodium cations and chloride anions are present in a 1: 1 ratio. The smallest particle that represents sodium chloride is a formula unit.
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chloride is a compound.
Sodium chloride is not a cause of cancer.
