Answer to Question #144433 in General Chemistry for Darcy

Question

What is the type of atom of NaCl

Answer 1

Strategy Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a salt formed by ionic bonds. The energy change associated with this bond depends on three main processes: the ionization of Na; the acceptance of the electron from a Na atom by a Cl atom; and Coulomb attraction of the resulting ions ( Na + and Cl − Na + and Cl − ).
