NaCl, also known as table salt is a stable substance that can be ingested. Explain using the trends you know about the periodic table as to why Na and Cl, two very reactive elements would bond (connect) to create a substance that is part of just about everything we eat.

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.
