A balanced equation represents the law of mass conservation, and as a re-
sult all of the following are true except
a. the number of moles of products equals the number of moles of reac-
tants
b. the total mass of the products equals the total mass of the reactants
c. the number of atoms in the products equals the number of atoms in the
reactants
d. the states of matter of the products are independent of the states of the
reactants

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.
