  2. Sodium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride

    This same basic structure is found in many other compounds and is commonly known as the NaCl structure or rock salt crystal structure. It can be represented as a face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice with a two-atom basis or as two interpenetrating face centered cubic lattices. The first atom is located at each lattice point, and the second atom is ...

  3. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, a salt or ionic compound is a chemical compound consisting of an assembly of positively charged ions and negatively charged ions , [1] which results in a compound with no net electric charge (electrically neutral). The constituent ions are held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonds.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_compounds

    In compounds, sodium is usually ionically bonded to water and anions and is viewed as a hard Lewis acid. [8] Two equivalent images of the chemical structure of sodium stearate, a typical soap. Most soaps are sodium salts of fatty acids. Sodium soaps have a higher melting temperature (and seem "harder") than potassium soaps. [7]

    [1] [2] [3] Introduced by Gilbert N. Lewis in his 1916 article The Atom and the Molecule, a Lewis structure can be drawn for any covalently bonded molecule, as well as coordination compounds. [4] Lewis structures extend the concept of the electron dot diagram by adding lines between atoms to represent shared pairs in a chemical bond.

  6. Sodium - Wikipedia

    Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table. Its only stable isotope is 23 Na. The free metal does not occur in nature and must be prepared from compounds. Sodium is the sixth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and exists in numerous minerals such as feldspars, sodalite, and halite (NaCl).

    Flaky Salt. Flaky salt has flat, larger crystals and a coarser texture than traditional table salt. These flakes are less salty due to their larger volume and are perfect as a finishing touch on ...

  9. Sodium iodide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_iodide

    Sodium iodide (chemical formula NaI) is an ionic compound formed from the chemical reaction of sodium metal and iodine. Under standard conditions, it is a white, water-soluble solid comprising a 1:1 mix of sodium cations (Na +) and iodide anions (I −) in a crystal lattice. It is used mainly as a nutritional supplement and in organic chemistry.
