Why Does Sodium Chloride Put Together Create A Molecule Nacl
Part I
Johnny is 12 years old and is currently learning about atoms in his science class. He recently decided to adventure outside and see if what he was learning could be put to the test. Now, it was spring and the slugs were starting to take over Johnny’s mother’s garden. Before he could go outside and play his mother asked him to go spread salt across the slugs in order to save her flowers. Johnny grabbed the salt and headed out to the garden ready to get rid of the slugs. As he walked over to the garden Johnny noticed the words sodium chloride on the side of his salt container.
1) Where has Johnny seen those words before?
Johnny has seen the words sodium chloride before in his science class.

3) What does sodium chloride represent?
Sodium chloride represents the two atoms that when put together create a molecule NaCl
4) Explain the concept of an ionic bond.
An ionic bond happens when two or more ions bond together because of their opposite charge. They are drawn to each other like magnets because of their opposite charge.
5) Why does the compound sodium chloride come about?
It came about because Sodium is a positively charged ion, and it has one electron in its outermost shell. Chlorine, and negatively charged ion it has seven electrons in its outermost shell. So then sodium transfers its one electron to the chlorine, because for sodium to have a full shell it would need to have seven more electrons to make a complete shell.
Part II
After completing his chore, Johnny returned the salt container and headed outside when his mom asked him to go and water the garden. Johnny grabbed the hose and thought, water has to be on the periodic table. He pulled out his pocket periodic table and did not find water. Johnny was beginning to feel frustrated with the periodic table and what his teacher had told
