The elements sodium and chlorine react together to form the compound sodium chloride, which has a giant ionic lattice structure. a What type of structure do the elements
(i) sodium and
(ii) chlorine have?

b Draw a diagram to represent how the ions are arranged in the crystal lattice of sodium chloride.

c Explain how the ions are held together in this crystal lattice.

d Draw diagrams to show how the electrons are arranged in a sodium ion and a chloride ion.
(The proton numbers of sodium and chlorine are 11 and 17, respectively.)

e Make a table showing the properties of the three substances sodium, chlorine and sodium chloride. Include in your table:
(i) the physical state at room temperature
(ii) solubility in (or reaction with) water
(iii) colour
(iv) electrical conductivity.
