Sodom chloride is an ionic compound.
<h3>What is sodium chloride?</h3>Sodium chloride is a compound that is formed by the combination of sodium and chlorine atoms. The compound is ionic as the ions of the atoms combine. Sodium looses one electron that can now be gained by chlorine.
Since the compound is ionic, it has a high melting and boiling point. This implies that the compound could melt as high as 801 degrees centigrade. The boiling point of the compound is much higher.
We can represent the compound using the ball and stick or the space filling model. The ball and stick model of sodium chloride has been shown in the image attached to this answer.
