The accident motivated safety upgrades on all remaining Soviet designed reactors in the RBMK(Chernobyl No.4) family, of which eleven continue to power electric grids as of 2013.
Sodium chloride /ËsoÊdiÉm ËklÉËraÉªd/, also known as salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of seawater and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms.
Sodium chloride, which is also known as salt, is a white color crystal with the molecular formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. Sodium is a group 1 metal, thus forms a +1 charged cation. Its electron configuration is 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 1.odium and potassium are group 1 metals, which have the capability to make +1 cations. Chloride is the -1 anion made by group 7 element, chlorine. Since group 1 elements are electropositive and group seven elements are electronegative, their electronegativity difference is larger. So they form ionic bonds.
