Answer the following question given this paragraph: The table salt pictured in the Figure below contains two elements that are so reactive they are rarely found alone in nature. Instead, they undergo chemical reactions with other elements and form compounds. Table salt is the compound named sodium chloride (NaCl). It forms when an atom of sodium (Na) gives up an electron and an atom of chlorine (Cl) accepts it. When this happens, sodium becomes a positively charged ion (Na + ), and chlorine becomes a negatively charged ion (Cl - ). The two ions are attracted to each and join a matrix of interlocking sodium and chloride ions, forming a crystal of salt. Q: Another name for table salt is? Choices: - hydrogen chloride - carbon chloride - dioxide chloride - sodium chloride A:
A:
sodium chloride
