Select all that apply:

-small

-large

-non-polar

-polar

-ionic/charged

(Select two)

Answer:

Ionic

Polar

Explanation:

Normally the NaCl is ionic and polar.

It is polar because of the large difference in the electronegativity of the Na and CL.

It is also ionic because it forms ions in the solutions and combines with other ions to form an acid or a base.

When NaCl is mixed in water the following reaction takes place

NaCl + H₂O⇒ NaOH +HCL

NaOH is a base and HCL is an acid. Usually by combining a salt and water  an acid and a base is obtained.
