It has a very high melting point.
All the properties of sodium chloride are different from the properties of sodium or chlorine.

The taste of sodium chloride is considered an emergent property.
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound (NaCl), not a property.
Sodium chloride is an ionic, polar compound.
The melting point of NaCl is very different from the melting points of Na or Cl.
No, sodium chloride is not a thermal conductivity. Thermal conductivity is a property that describes the ability of a material to conduct heat, while sodium chloride is a compound composed of sodium and chloride ions.
Yes, it is an intensive property.
A flavouring and food preservative :) isnt it salt water ermm my science teacher told me :)
Neither, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a salt (table salt) made by reacting the metal Sodium with the Gas Chlorine. The substance, Sodium Chloride, has both physical and chemical properties but is not a property itself.
Sodium chloride has properties that are a combination of sodium and chlorine. It is an ionic compound composed of equal parts sodium cations and chloride anions, resulting in properties that are different from either pure sodium or chlorine. Sodium is a highly reactive metal, while chlorine is a corrosive gas, but when combined in the form of sodium chloride, it forms a stable crystalline structure that is commonly known as table salt.
There are several properties that distinguish sucrose from sodium chloride. One is that sucrose melts at around 186ºC whereas sodium chloride melts at around 800ºC. Another property would be that sucrose is a non electrolyte (will not conduct a current when in solution) whereas sodium chloride is an electrolyte and it will conduct a current when in solution.
Ammonium chloride can undergo sublimation, meaning it can change from a solid directly to a gas without passing through a liquid state. Sodium chloride does not exhibit sublimation behavior.
The solubility of sodium chloride in water can most easily distinguish it from other solids. Sodium chloride is highly soluble in water, while many other solids are not. By dissolving a small amount of the solid in water and observing if it dissolves completely, you can determine if it is sodium chloride.
