Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. In aqueous sodium chloride (a solution of table salt) the Na+ and Cl- ions are mobile and can move throughout the solution to carry charges. Molten sodium chloride can also conduct electricity because of the mobile cations and anions.

Sodium has low ionization energy and chlorine has high electron affinity and the electronegativity differences between them is more.copper has a high ionization energy than sodium .but for strong uonic bond low ionization energy is required

Why would it be inaccurate to speak of an NaCl molecule?
NaCl forms an ionic crystal structure rather than molecules.
What substances have at least one ionic bond more than one compound may be checked NaCl HH CS2 a molecule comprising only carbon and hydrogen atoms H2S LiF?
Usually only NaCl and LiF from the list given are considered ionic compounds, but H2S can ionize in solution in water.
Are covalent bonds more soluble than ionic bonds?
ionic compounds are more soluble than covalent.
Do ionic compounds and molecular compounds behave similarly when they are dissolved?
Ionic compounds eg NaCl yield ions when dissolved in water, NaCl (in water) -> Na positive ions and negative Cl ions. Ions have electrical charges & conduct electricity. All compounds are "molecular", ie they are made up of more than one atom in combination. Some molecules are not ionic, eg common sugar, and when they are dissolved in water they do not yield ions and do not conduct electricity.
If a bond's character is more than 50 ionic then the bond is called?
ionic, i believe
Is the ionic bond stronger in NaCl or calcium carbonate?
Calcium Carbonate. Simple test, NaCl Dissociates in water, CaCO3 does not

Why NaCl dissolve more in water than iodine?
In Sodium Chloride, Sodium ion (Na+) and Chloride ion (Cl-) are combined by ionic forces,Where as in Iodine Molecule Two Iodine atoms are combined by covalent bond.Covalent bond is always stronger than ionic Bond.So in water the weak bond (Ionic Bond) dissociates easily and Nacl Dissolves Readily compared to Iodine.
Does NaCl or KCl have a stronger bond?
As the size of Na is smaller than the size of K,NaCl will have stronger bond than KCl
In compounds does copper have a plus 2 charge CuSO3 CuOH CuS CuCl2 CuNO2 ( can be more than one)?
These compounds are CuSO3 CuS CuCl2..
Which is more difficult to separate covalent or ionic bonding?
Ionic bonds have stronger bonds than covalent but are easier to separate simply because Ionic Compounds are POLAR molecules. There electronegativity different between the Metal and Non metal is higher than 1.7 (Extremely polar). This means putting, example NaCl (Salt), in water, will easily dissolve the NaCl into the cation and anion. Hopefully this helps.

Usually only NaCl and LiF from the list given are considered ionic compounds, but H2S can ionize in solution in water.
Which salt is more soluble in water KCl or KBr?
The ionic bonding causes the solubility. As the electronegative difference becomes more, the ions are easily soluble. K has more electronegativity than Na. Hence KCl is more soluble than NaCl in water
Which is more ionic NaCl KCl or LiCl?
Although all 3 compounds are ionic, the one with the highest ionic characteristics is KCl due to the greater difference between K and Cl than in the other 2.
