When an ionic compound is placed in water, it will split apart into either positive or negative ions. Sodium will form Na+ and chlorine will form Cl-. Positive and negative forces are attracted to each other, so the ions will be slightly pulled toward each other.

Why neon chloride or metallic sodium exist in nature?
neon chloride does not exist because neon is inert
What type of molecular forces of attraction would exist in CaO?
intermolecular forces
What is the balanced equation for sodium hydroxide and copper III chloride?
The compound copper (III) chloride doesn't exist !
What is the density of chloride?
Chloride is an ion. It cannot exist alone, but must be with some positive ion. Potassium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, copper (II) chloride, etc. are compounds and each has a certain density.
Why does sodium chloride have no charged ions but no overall charge?
When, for example a sodium atom (a metal) meets a chlorine atom (a non-metal) the sodium looses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium iron Na+. Chlorine takes on sodiums electron to become to ion Cl-. It also gains a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable then the neutral atoms form which they were formed, and together they exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt).
Why are there ionic bonds in sodium chloride?
Because exist an electrostatic attraction between the ions of Na and Cl.
What happens to electrons when salt is ls made?
For sodium chloride an electrostatic attraction exist between atoms.
When is iconic bond of sodium chloride is formed?
Because between the ions Na+ and Cl- an electrostatic attraction exist.
Why is sodium chloride a ionic bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond because a big electrostatic attraction between ions of sodium and chlorine exist.
What intermolecular forces are present in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride does not exist as molecules.
What is the oxide of sodium chloride?
An oxide of sodium chloride doesn't exist. The oxides of sodium are: Na2O, NaO2, Na2O2.
Is salt an autotroph?
Any link exist between sodium chloride and autotrophy.No.
Why neon chloride or metallic sodium exist in nature?
neon chloride does not exist because neon is inert
Will water react with sodium chloride?
Any reaction exist; a solution is formed, sodium chloride being dissociated.
How do you write sodium chloride?
Potassium hydroxide is KOH. Sodium chloride is NaCl. A reaction doesn't exist.
How are ions in a sodium chloride held together?
Between the ions Na+ and Cl- a strong ionic bond exist.
Is sodium chloride hygroscopic?
Sodium chloride has a rare dihydrate, obtained from cold solutions - NaCl.2H2O.
