The positive sodium ion and the negative chloride ion attract each other (opposite charges attract.) The attraction between ions is very strong and the result is ionic bond because of the strong attraction between these ions millions of them bond together forming crystals.

Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
When one molecule of sodium combines with one molecule of chlorine what is formed?
Sodium ions and chlorine ions form sodium chloridemolecules; this forms salt crystals; table salt to be more precise!Equations:Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaClIonic equation: Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl
Why will molten Sodium Chloride undergo electrolysis?
Molten sodium chloride consists of sodium ions and chloride ions and is therefore a conductor of electricity- and can be electrlysed.
When sodium chloride forms what are the charges on the sodium and chloride ion?
Sodium chloride does not have an overall charge, it only has charged ions (which are Na+ and Cl-) If a sodium atom meets a chlorine atom, the sodium loses its outer-shell electron to form the sodium ion Na+. Chlorine takes on sodium's electron to become the ion Cl-. It also has a new name: chloride. Both ions are more stable than the neutral atoms from which they were formed, and exist as NaCl, sodium chloride (common salt). The electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the salt crystal together. (Note that in the final formula the charges are not shown, although each ion still has its charge.)
The attraction between sodium ions and chloride ions form what kind of bond?
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Sodium chloride is formed from ions and chloride?
Not quite right. Sodium chloride is formed from sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-)
What atoms are found in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride contains sodium and chlorine ions, which are electrically charged atoms.
How many ions are required to form sodium Chloride?
Your phrasing is slightly off. It does not require ions to form sodium chloride; that compound is made from atoms of sodium and chlorine (one of each). Once the compound is formed, the sodium and chlorine then become ions, Na+ and Cl-.
What is sodium chloride made up from?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
Is sodium chloride an element or a compound or a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
Sodium chloride is a compound of sodium and chlorine formed by ionic bonding of sodium ions and chlorine ions.
What change does the sodium atom have after combining with chlorine?
In presence of chlorine, sodium atoms will discharge electrons to give sodium ions to combine with chloride ions followed by forming a lattice of sodium chloride.
The ionic bond of sodium chloride is formed when?
The ionic bond of sodium chloride is formed when chlorine gains an electron from sodium.
What is in a sodium chloride crystal?
Sodium chloride lattice contain atoms of sodium and chlorine.
When sodium chloride is dissolved in water a chemical reaction occurs in which sodium chloride is the reactant and sodium ions and chloride ions are the?
When solid sodium chloride dissolves in water, the resulting sodium and chloride ions are said to be the products. Product is a general term for any substance which results as the result of a chemical reaction. Thus, if the solution was to be boiled and the ions formed into a solid, the products and reactants would be reversed.
Does sodium ions plus chloride ions equal sodium chloride?
Yes, sodium chloride is NaCl.
How are the particles in sodium chloride formed?
The ionic bond is formed because it is a strong electrostatic attraction between sodium and chlorine ions.
Is salt made of atoms or molecules?
Salt crystals are formed from molecules, which are made of atoms. Table salt is sodium chloride, a compound whose molecules contain one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine, joined by an ionic bond (sodium loses an electron and becomes a positive ion, chlorine gains an electron and becomes a negative ion).
