Correct Answer: <span>They have small differences in electronegativity (statement 3)
Reason:
The nature of chemical bond between atoms is primarily driven by the electronegativity difference between constituent atoms. If electronegativity difference between constituent atoms is significantly higher, ionic bond formation is preferred. On other hand, low difference in electronegativity values, favours formation of covalent bond.

It's called a pH indicator.
In order to obtain solid NaCl, the student should do a few steps.
First, he/she should do filtration. Pass the mixture through a filter paper, where all the sand should be filtered out already because they're not dissolved in the solution plus they're too small to pass through the filter paper.
Next, the filtrate should be left with NaCl (aqueous state). To seperate NaCl with the liquid, the student can either do evaporation or crystallization, depending on how pure or fast he/she wants the results to be. Evaporation involves heating the beaker or whatever apparatus under the bunsen burner until all the liquid has evaporated. Then, some white powder should be left, they're NaCl solid. For crystallization, the student should just put the beaker on a room condition environment, and wait. They might have to wait a month or so for the liquid to completely evaporate itself and left with clear and pure NaCl crystals.
