I assume you have Chemistry, not my favorite class this year but anyways..

The attractive force pulls many ions together into a tightly packed structure. The tight packing of the ions causes any salt, such as sodium chloride, to have a distinctive crystal structure. Crystal structure is your answer.

Cool fact.

The smallest crystal of table salt that you could see would still have more than a billion billion sodium and chloride ions!

Good day<3

Which elements have the same electron arrangement as Argon Chlorine Sulfur or Potassium?

No element has the exact same election arrangement as another element. However ion can have the same election arrangement as another element. For example Chloride (Cl-) has the same configuration as Argon, and Potassium (I) (K+) also has the same configuration as argon.


Why does sodium chloride produces a yellow flame when heated?

Sodium burns mostly in the centre of the visible spectrum because of the way its electrons and energy levels are arranged; this corresponds to yellow.


How does the arrangement of electrons change when sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride?

each sodium atom loses an electron and each chlorine atom gains an electron OIL RIG (Oxidation Is Lost-Reduction Is Gain)


Name the two ions found in sodium chloride?

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

What is the sodium chloride crystal arrangement?

The sodium chloride crystal arrangement is a cubiccrystal lattice (a regular, repeating pattern) or a "salt crystal". Every chlorine ion (negatively charged, as they gain an electron in this case) is surrounded by 6 sodium ions (positively charged, as they lose an electron in this case), as every sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chlorine ions.The crystal lattice structure of sodium chloride gives NaCl and other salts their great stability, and also contributes to their high melting points (due to the strong ionic nature of the bonds).
