The formula unit NaCl contain one sodium atom.
In a sodium chloride crystal, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions, and each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions. This results in a 1:1 ratio of sodium ions to chloride ions in the crystal lattice.
Saltwater (or seawater) contains both sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride (table salt) dissolves in water to form these ions.
In a NaCl (sodium chloride) solution, there are two types of ions present: sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). This is because when NaCl dissolves in water, it dissociates into these two ions, which are responsible for conducting electricity in the solution.
It is a lattice. There are 6 cl- ions around a sodium ion.
Sodium chloride (table salt) does not have protons because it is a compound composed of sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). Sodium has 11 protons and chloride has 17 protons, but in the compound, the protons are bound within the ions, not in the compound itself.
In a 1M solution of sodium chloride, there would be 1 mole of sodium ions and 1 mole of chloride ions in 1 liter of the solution. This is because each formula unit of sodium chloride dissociates into one sodium ion and one chloride ion in solution.
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-.

The chemical formula of table salt (sodium chloride) is NaCl; the ratio is 1.
The, usually subscript,"2" after "Cl" indicates how many there are. Calcium chloride, CaCl2, has to Chloride ions while sodium chloride, NaCl, has only one (indicated by no number following the Cl).
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
Common table salt is Sodium Chloride ( NaCl ) and has no hydrogen atoms.
