How many atoms of sodium Na are there in the formula for the table salt that is NaCl?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
One molecule has two atoms (one Na and one Cl). So 3NaCl will have six atoms.

∙ 10y agoOne sodium atom (Na) and one chlorine atom (Cl) form an ionic bond and combine into the compound NaCl (sodium chloride, table salt). So two in the formula unit (a term more correct than formula in this case).
Actually, to be a stickler, there are no atoms in that compound. The sodium and chlorine atoms must ionize into Na+ and Cl- before they bond, at which point they are ions, notatoms.

There is one atom in the atom Na.
There is one atom in the atom Cl.
There are 2 atoms in the ionic compound NaCl.
There are 6 atoms in the 3 NaCl ionic compounds.
(Just thought I would clarify.)

∙ 6y agoIt's very good question! For that you have to look at the chemical formula of the molecule. Here it is NaCl. So in case of NaCl, you have one atom each of sodium and chlorine. In case of baking soda, the chemical formula is Na2CO3. So here you have two atoms of the sodium. Here you have one atom of Carbon. Here you have three atoms of the Oxygen.

∙ 15y agoNa is not a molecule, but is an atom. NaCl is the molecule or compound. I think the question you wanted to ask is "how many atoms of Na are in NaCl?" There is one atom of Na in NaCl.

What are the symbols for salt and sugar?
Salt is NaCl (sodium chloride). Sugar is represented as C(6)H(12)O(6)....6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms
What are the reactants for salt carbon dioxide and water?
Table salt = Sodium + Chlorine = Sodium Chloride ( Na) + ( Cl ) = (NaCl)
Difference between table salt and road salt?
There are many different types of salt. Charged Atoms that are held together by ionic bonds are called salts. Table salt is sodium chloride NaCl and i dunno what road salt is. But those two are only different by ionic bonds. Learned that today in Science to :P.
What is a formula for pure compound substance?
A pure compound substance is one that is composed only of elemental equivalent atoms. Table salt, for example, is composed of sodium and chlorine atoms ionically bound to each other. That isn't exactly "pure" since it requires to atoms...so how about carbon? Carbon can exist in many states- it can be "locked" in, a la diamond, where the crystaline structure is too strong for normal molecules to break, or it can be graphite (also made of carbon), wherepon the simple act of friction causes layers of this atomic structure to stick.
How many atoms of sodium are there in formula for table salt?
