The chemical formulafor table salt is NaCl. Which of thefollowing explains what that means?
A
Table salt iscreated when the compound NaCl is separated in a chemical reaction.
B
Tablesalt is a chemical compound containing the elements Na (sodium) and Cl(chlorine).
C
Table salt willhave a chemical reaction when it is mixed with elements Na (sodium) or Cl(chlorine).
D
Table salt is thesame as the salt found nature, except it does not contain the elements Na(sodium) or Cl (chlorine).
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sodium chloride, also known as table salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. It is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. Salt can be created by adding two very reactive elements together: sodium (Na(s) metal and chlorine (Cl2(g) gas.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sodium chloride forms from the ionic bonding of sodium ions and chloride ions. There is one sodium cation (Na+) for every chloride anion (Cl–), so the chemical formula is NaCl (Fig. 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chemical abbreviation for sodium chloride (table salt).

Detailed explanation-4: -Sodium chloride is often referred to as table salt, common salt, or just simply salt. Salt is an essential nutrient and can give an attractive taste to foods and feeds. It has been stated that salt is the only mineral compound for which animals can truly develop a craving.

Detailed explanation-5: -Writing Chemical Formulas We would simply use the symbols for the elements. The symbol for sodium is Na and the symbol for chlorine in Cl. So the symbol for this compound is NaCl. NaCl, or sodium chloride, is commonly known as table salt.
