Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

PS: kindly check the attachment below for the required diagram that is the diagram showing solid sodium chloride looks like at the atomic level.

The chemical compound known as sodium chloride, NaCl has Molar mass: 58.44 g/mol, Melting point: 801 °C and

Boiling point: 1,465 °C. The structure of the solid sodium chloride is FACE CENTRED CUBIC STRUCTURE. Also, solid sodium chloride has a coordination number of 6: 6.

In the diagram below, the positive sign shows the sodium ion while the thick full stop sign represent the chlorine ion.
