Is there NaCl in gas phase, or something else will happen, like ionic bond break and Na in gas and Cl2 in gas show up?
I'm wondering why you did not google before asking the question?
NaCl boiling point 1,413°C
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride
That would be a little bit embarrassing. I found the answer, too. And according to the reference, inorganic chemistry, NaCl in gas phase would like molecule.
Does it mean that the ionic bond to hold Na+and Cl- to form compound stronger than the similiar bond to form crystal?
Or some something else happen some bond break and some dose not?
I'm wondering why you did not google;
