Because sodium has a low electronegativity and chlorine has a high electronegativity; sodium become a cation and chlorine an anion.

What kind of bond does NaCl form?

NaCl forms ionic bonds.


What compounds has an ionic bond SO3 CO2 NaCl HCl?

SO3 does not form ionic bonds; it forms covalent bonds. CO2 also forms covalent bonds due to its molecular structure. NaCl and HCl both have ionic bonds because they are formed between a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (Cl) in NaCl, and a metal (H) and a nonmetal (Cl) in HCl.


Why can water dissolve NaCl and ethanol?

Water can dissolve NaCl because it has polar molecular structure which allows it to interact with the ions in NaCl, breaking the ionic bonds. Ethanol is a polar molecule as well, making it able to dissolve NaCl through similar polar interactions. Ethanol can also dissolve in water due to its polar characteristics and ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.


Is NaCl made up of ionic bonds?

Yes.The cation,Na +and the anion,Cl -combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride; NaCl.


Why is NaCl not a molecule?

Because sodium chloride form giant lattices without a limit between molecules.


Will NaCL and Hexane form a solution?

No, sodium chloride (NaCl) and hexane do not form a solution because they are immiscible. NaCl is a polar compound that dissolves in water, while hexane is a nonpolar solvent that does not interact with NaCl.


Is NACL ionic or covalent bonds why cant it be covalent bond?

NaCl is formed by ionic bonds because sodium (Na) donates an electron to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of Na+ and Cl- ions that are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms, which does not occur in the formation of NaCl.

Do hydrogen bonds form salts such as NaCl?

No sir (or ma'am)! Hydrogen (H-bonds) can only be formed when there is a hydrogen attached to either a Nitrogen, Oxygen, or Fluorine atom. Just remember: it's not an H-bond without N-O-F.


What compounds contains covalent bonds NaCl NH3 K2S Li3N?

NaCl contains ionic bonds, NH3 contains covalent bonds, K2S contains ionic bonds, and Li3N contains ionic bonds.


Why NaOH or NaCl do not conduct electricity?

NaCl does conduct electricity, but in the an aqueous form or when melted because the bonds holding Na+ and Cl- ions together are dissociated by either the polar nature of water, or by the heat provided to cause melting. The same happens with NaOH, except the ions are Na+ and OH-.
