Ionic bond between Na+ cation and Cl- anion
Sodium chloride is an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride is ionic
Sodium chloride is an ionic bond.
Sodium metal ionises to form the sodium cation Na(s) = Na^(+) + e^(-) Chlorine has electron affinity , attracts an electron to form the chloride anion. Cl + e^(-) = Cl^(-) The two ions are attracted to each other, because they have opposite (+/-) charges, just like the N & S poles of a magnet. It is correctly called 'electrostatic attraction'. Hence Na^(+) + Cl^(-) = NaCl(s)
No, but the bond in sodium chloride is covalent.
Sodium chloride = NaCl
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride has ionic bonds; sodium chloride form a giant lattice.
