What else can I help you with?
When NaCl dissolves in water which end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na plus?
The oxygen end of the water molecule is attracted to the Na+ ion. This attraction occurs due to the partial negative charge on the oxygen atom of the water molecule and the positive charge on the sodium ion.
Why would it be inaccurate to speak of an NaCl molecule?
It would be inaccurate to speak of an NaCl molecule because NaCl is an ionic compound, not a molecule. NaCl is formed from an ionic bond between sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-), not from the sharing of electrons between atoms like in a covalent molecule.
Is NaCl an atom or molecule?
Neither. NaCl is an ionic compound and does not form molecules. It forms a crystal lattice in which every ion is surrounded by six ions of opposite charge. The formula NaCl is a formula unit which gives the simplest whole number ratio of ions in the compound.
What is a composition of a salt molecule?
NaCl
Is NaCl compound or molecule?
NaCl is a compound, not a molecule. This is because NaCl is created when the elements sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) chemically bond together to form a new substance with different properties from its individual elements.
What the molecule of salt NaCl?
Today NaCl is considered the formula unit of sodium chloride, not the true chemical formula of the molecule; NaCl form very complex lattices, as other ionic salts.
What is a sodium chloride molecule?
The term molecule is not adequate for sodium chloride because NaCl form large lattices. More exact is formula unit - NaCl.
What are the names of the particles that carry the charge when electricity flows through molten NaCl and aqueous NaCl?
In molten NaCl, the particles carrying the charge are sodium and chloride ions. In aqueous NaCl, the charge is carried by hydrated sodium and chloride ions.
Which is a convalenly bonded molecule cl2 air ne nacl?
Cl2 is covalent. NaCl is ionic.
Table salt is an example of a?
compound. the molecule is NaCl.
Is sodium chloride (NaCl) a molecule or a compound?
Sodium chloride is an ionic compound; the term "molecule" is not adequate because NaCl form large lattices.
Is NaCl a ionic compound or molecule?
No Its an ionic compound
