Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
NaCl is an example of a ____ compound
A
Ionic
B
Polar
C
Non-Polar
D
Organic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Since sodium chloride is formed by the transfer of electrons between the elements, therefore, it is an ionic compound.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride (NaCl), are formed by a transfer of electrons that creates ions. Ions exert electrostatic force on each other, which forms ionic bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sodium chloride is taken as a typical ionic compound. Compounds like this consist of a giant (endlessly repeating) lattice of ions. So sodium chloride (and any other ionic compound) is described as having a giant ionic structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -NaCl is an ionic compound. All ionic compounds adopt a three-dimensional structure in which the ions are close to many ions of the opposite charge.

Detailed explanation-5: -NaCl is an example of an ionic compound and ionic salt. NaCl’s name is sodium chloride. Sodium atoms lose one electron to form Na+1 ions and chlorine atoms gain one electron to form Cl-1 ions.
