How do you classify NaCl--Na plus Cl?

NaCl is sodium chloride, an inorganic salt, with ionic bonds.


What are the elements and bonds of NaCl?

The elements are sodium, Na, and chlorine, Cl. The bond is ionic. The ionic formula is Na+ Cl-


Is NACL ionic or covalent bonds why cant it be covalent bond?

NaCl is formed by ionic bonds because sodium (Na) donates an electron to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of Na+ and Cl- ions that are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which does not occur in the formation of NaCl.


Is NaCl made up of ionic bonds?

Yes.The cation,Na +and the anion,Cl -combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride; NaCl.


What compounds has an ionic bond SO3 CO2 NaCl HCl?

SO3 does not form ionic bonds; it forms covalent bonds. CO2 also forms covalent bonds due to its molecular structure. NaCl and HCl both have ionic bonds because they are formed between a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (Cl) in NaCl, and a metal (H) and a nonmetal (Cl) in HCl.
