The amount of energy required to change the phase of a molecular substance such as sucrose is greater than an ionic substance such as table salt. true or false

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
