This force is an electrostatic attraction.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
Na+ (sodium ions) and Cl- (chloride ions). (There are also a small number of dissociated H+ and OH- ions as well)
The two ions found in sodium chloride are sodium ion and chloride ion. Actually sodium chloride crystals are made up of these two ions which are arranged in a cubical crystal structure with each ion surrounded by 6 ions of the other type1 . The sodium ion is positively charged( called cation) and chloride ion is negatively charged( called anion) and due to electrostatic forces of attraction they are held together.[ Na+Cl- ] ---> Na++ Cl-(in solid) (in solution or fused state)In solid state ions are held together but in fused state or in aqueous solution ions get separated and become mobile. Electrolysis of such a solution can give information about composition of sodium chloride.1. The coordination number of sodium chloride is 6
Attraction between water molecules and sodium and chloride ions OSS less than the attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions.
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
(+)--(-) positive and negative
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
The positive sodium ions and negative chloride ions attract each other.
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
Electrostatic attraction.
Because between the ions Na+ and Cl- an electrostatic attraction exist.
Between the ions Na+ and Cl- a strong ionic bond exist.
The difference between sodium chloride and ammonia chloride solutions is the ions present. Both solutions contain chloride ions. However, the first solution contains sodium cations whereas the second solution contains ammonium cations.
The lattice of sodium chloride is face-centered cubic. The chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium cations.
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
