Sodium Chloride Atomic Molecular Structure Model

Model : 55X-NACL

Sodium chloride  commonly known as salt            is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride has a giant ionic lattice. This is formed due to the ionic bonding, which involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to ensure each atom has a full outer shell of electrons. Sodium will lose an electron to become Na+ whilst chloride will gain an electron to form Cl-. These charged atoms are called ions. The strong forces or attraction between the two oppositely charged ions will hold them close together, forming the ionic bond. These electrostatic forces of attraction act in all directions which holds the ions in a giant ionic lattice. In this structure red balls represent sodium and Black color represent chloride  atom and white represents bonds In between carbon atoms.
