Sodium chloride is not a molecule, it is a crystalline solid in which the sodium cations and chloride anions are present in a 1: 1 ratio. The smallest particle that represents sodium chloride is a formula unit.

Is sodium chloride crystals polar or non polar?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound.


Is sodium chloride polar or non polar you are confused because some says it is polar and some non polar?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound.


Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?

NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.


Is sodium chloride polar non-polar or an ionic molecule?

Sodium chloride is an ionic molecule because it is formed by the transfer of electrons from sodium (Na) to chlorine (Cl). The resulting ions, Na+ and Cl-, are held together by strong electrostatic forces in a crystal lattice structure.


Is sodium chloride non polor?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound.


Does sodium chloride dissolve in CS2?

Because carbon disulfide is a non-polar solvent sodium chloride is not soluble.


Is sodium chloride soluble in toluene?

No, sodium chloride is not soluble in toluene because toluene is a non-polar solvent and sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds like sodium chloride are generally soluble in polar solvents but insoluble in non-polar solvents like toluene.


Why NaCl is soluble in water but I2 is not?

Iodine is not a soluble because its non polar and does not dissolve in water , it sinks to the bottom and turns the water a yellow colour.


Does sodium chloride soluble to benzene?

No, NaCL is polar, benzen is non-polar.


Why does sodium chloride not dissolve in non-polar solvents?

Sodium chloride is a polar compound, meaning it has positive and negative charges that interact with water molecules in solution. Non-polar solvents lack these charges, so they cannot effectively interact with and dissolve sodium chloride. This is due to the difference in polarity between the solute (sodium chloride) and the solvent.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.


Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?

Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.
