GPT-4o mini
A) ionic
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound formed by the transfer of electrons from sodium (Na) to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of positively charged sodium ions (Na⁺) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl⁻). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions constitutes the ionic bond in NaCl.
