MCQ
Sodium chloride crystal has a $.....$ shape:
  • Definite
  • B
    Regular
  • C
    Irregular
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: A.
Definite
In $\text{NaCl}$ crystal, there exists strong ionic bonding between $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ions. Because of stronger forces of attraction between $\mathrm{Na}^{+}$ and $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$, they remain fixed at their positions, thus, arranging in a definite pattern to give a definite shape.
