NaCl is composed of two elements viz. sodium and chlorine.

NaCl is sodium chloride by name. It is the common table/cooking salt used in food preparation.

The two atoms are bonded together IONICALLY.

The sodium atom becomes the sodium ion , with a charge of Na(+)

and the Chlorine atom becomes the chloride ion wth a charge of Cl(-)

Since the charged are opposite ( +) & (=) and there is only one each of charges , they attract together like the North & South poles of a Magnet.

Sodium is given the symbol 'Na' ,from its Latin name of ';Nadium'.

Also the chlorine becomes the CHLORIDE in the name.
