an ionic compound
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
A compound/molecule with an ionic bond.
negative
Sodium is a chemical element. Sodium chloride is NaCl but sodium is not a transition metal.
Sodium chloride is very useful. Sodium ion is the positive ion.
A chloride ion has a larger radius than a sodium ion, because the chloride has an additional complete valence shell of electrons compared to a sodium ion, but a sodium atom has lost the only electron in this valence shell that the sodium atom ever included to form a sodium ion.
This procedure creates an aqueous solution of sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride is a compound not an ion; after dissociation of NaCl ions are obtained: Na+ and Cl-.
an ionic compound
Chloride is actually the most abundant ion in ocean water.
Sodium chloride is a compound and hasn't valence; sodium and chlorine, as elements are monovalent,
chloride ions surrounding it
The sodium ion is Na+, while the chloride ion is Cl-.
A compound/molecule with an ionic bond.
The formula for sodium chloride is NaCl. This means that for every one sodium ion, there is one chloride ion. The ratio is 1:1, so the numbers of each ion in a crystal of NaCl should be equal.
