What is NaCl an example of?
gpt
An ionic compound
Explanation: An ionic compound is formed when a metal (sodium in this case) loses one or more electrons to become a positively charged ion, and a nonmetal (chlorine in this case) gains one or more electrons to become a negatively charged ion, resulting in an attractive electrostatic force between the two ions. Ionic compounds like NaCl have strong bonds that hold them together.
