Which has the strongest bonding in the solid state? a. Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) b. Chlorine (Cl₂) c. Xenon (Xe) d. Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Answer: Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Explanation
Sodium chloride (NaCl) forms ionic bonds, which are considered the strongest type of bonding in solids.
These bonds involve a strong electrostatic attraction between positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chlorine ions (Cl-).
This results in a stable crystal lattice structure, requiring a significant amount of energy to overcome and melt the compound.
