There ARE no compounds in NaCl. A compound is comprised of 2 or more elements. NaCl is a compound itself, compromised of 2 elements, Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine).

What substances will dissolve into ions when combined with pure water?

Ionic compounds, such as Na+Cl-, H+Cl-; or polar compounds such as glucose.


When struck with a sharp blow ionic compounds tend to what while metallic substances which are what change sharpe?

Ionic compounds tend to shatter when struck with a hammer. This is due to the crystal structure formed by an ionic compound, which is basically repeating units of negatively and positively charged ions in some sort of geometric arrangement. When struck, ions of similar charge and pushed next to each other. These ions repel and the whole crystal will then cleave apart along the crystal pattern. example: Left undisturbed NaCl crystal, right struck Na Cl :crys.tal breaks along crystal pattern Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl Cl Na Metallic bonds are better pictured as an electron sea, where all the metal atoms that are participating are freely sharing electrons amongst each other. Because of this there are no localized charges to repel each other, making metallic bonds far less susceptible to shattering.


Exaplin why structural formulas cannot be ionic substances?

Structural formulae are usually used to describe covalent molecular compounds. It is illogical to use structural formulae to describe ionic compounds because ionic compounds are typically lattice structures. This means that they are electrostatically fixed to one another, and what would normally be considered molecules run together as ions bond to multiple other ions. For example, NaCl would not look like: Na+-Cl- But rather- (Na+)-(Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (etc.) (Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (Na+)-etc (Na+)-(Cl-)-(Na+)-(Cl-)- (etc.) etc.- etc- etc- etc


Ions formed from Na plus and Cl- are?

Sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) are formed when a sodium atom donates an electron to a chlorine atom. This transfer of electrons creates the stable ionic compounds sodium chloride (NaCl).


What happens when sodium chloride dissolves in water?

It easily dissolves and is disassociated.

Why is salt getting formed a chemical change?

in their natural state, Na and Cl are neutral, unstable. When reacting, Na will lose an electron to Cl, and the resulting Na+ is eletrostatically attracted to Cl-. In the end, two neutral unstable compounds form a single polar, stable compound that is neither reactive like sodium or toxic like chlorine


Na+ and Cl- are ions formed from?

Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.


When elements are chemically combined they form?

They form compounds. For example, Na + Cl --> NaCl The compound formed depends on the elements in the reaction.


How does a bond form between sodium and chlorine?

na + cl- na - electronic configuration 2,8,1 cl - electronic configuration 2,8,7 na -e --> na + cl +e -->cl - so they formed a ironic bond between them


How does water dissolve sodium chloride?

Sodium chloride disassociates in water to produce Na+ and Cl - ions. NaCl + H2O = Na+ aq and Cl- aq.
