is it a large molecule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NaCl is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds do not form molecules. They form large crystal lattices consisting of alternating positive and negative ions. See the reference for a picture of the crystal lattice of NaCl. The crystal lattice is of course very much larger than the picture shows. Na forms the positive ions (Na+) and Cl forms the negative ions (Cl-) The answer is no
