Although solid sodium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity, when molten the sodium and chloride ions are mobilized, which become charge carriers and allow conduction of electric current. Some calcium chloride and/or chlorides of barium (BaCl 2 ) and strontium (SrCl 2 ), and, in some processes, sodium fluoride (NaF) [ 3 ] are added to the ...
Sodium chloride / ˌ s oʊ d i ə m ˈ k l ɔːr aɪ d /, [8] commonly known as edible salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chlorine ions. It is transparent or translucent, brittle, hygroscopic , and occurs as the mineral halite .
X-ray spectrometer developed by W. H. Bragg. In 1913 the structure of sodium chloride was determined by William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg. [2] [3] [4] This revealed that there were six equidistant nearest-neighbours for each atom, demonstrating that the constituents were not arranged in molecules or finite aggregates, but instead as a network with long-range crystalline order. [4]
Sodium chloride crystal lattice. The concept of lattice energy was originally applied to the formation of compounds with structures like rocksalt and sphalerite where the ions occupy high-symmetry crystal lattice sites. In the case of NaCl, lattice energy is the energy change of the reaction Na + (g) + Cl − (g) → NaCl (s)
Sodium fluoride is an inorganic ionic compound, dissolving in water to give separated Na + and F − ions. Like sodium chloride, it crystallizes in a cubic motif where both Na + and F − occupy octahedral coordination sites; [33] [34] its lattice spacing, approximately 462 pm, is smaller than that of sodium chloride (564 pm).
The most common chloralkali process involves the electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (a brine) in a membrane cell. A membrane, such as Nafion, Flemion or Aciplex, is used to prevent the reaction between the chlorine and hydroxide ions. Basic membrane cell used in the electrolysis of brine. At the anode (A), chloride (Cl −) is

The first solvation shell of a sodium ion dissolved in water. An aqueous solution is a solution in which the solvent is water. It is mostly shown in chemical equations by appending (aq) to the relevant chemical formula. For example, a solution of table salt, also known as sodium chloride (NaCl), in water would be represented as Na + (aq) + Cl ...
