Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl
NaCl = salt.
An ionic bond between Na+ and Cl- ions.
There are two types of elements, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) in NaCl and they exist as ions: Na+ and Cl- ions
Ionic compounds tend to shatter when struck with a hammer. This is due to the crystal structure formed by an ionic compound, which is basically repeating units of negatively and positively charged ions in some sort of geometric arrangement. When struck, ions of similar charge and pushed next to each other. These ions repel and the whole crystal will then cleave apart along the crystal pattern. example: Left undisturbed NaCl crystal, right struck Na Cl :crys.tal breaks along crystal pattern Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Metallic bonds are better pictured as an electron sea, where all the metal atoms that are participating are freely sharing electrons amongst each other. Because of this there are no localized charges to repel each other, making metallic bonds far less susceptible to shattering.
*The formula is NaCl. It is formed through ionic bonding due to the strong electrostatic attractions between the positive sodium ions (Na+) and the negative chloride ions (Cl-).
Na+ ions
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.
Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide yield salt and water H+ + Cl- + Na+ + OH- --> Na+ + Cl- + H2OComment:In solutions you better leave unchanged ions ( Cl- and Na+) out of the balanced equation: called to be 'tribune ions' (people on the tribune don't take part in the 'match'):H+ + OH- --> H2O This looks simpler than: H+ + Cl - + Na + + OH- --> Na + + Cl - + H2O
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)

Because by dissociation ions as Na+ and Cl- are formed.
An ionic bond between Na+ and Cl- ions.

Dissociation of what? Table salt, for example (NaCl) dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions in water.
NA+ and Cl-
1 because Na ions have a +1 charge while Cl ions have a -1 charge.
