Question

osprey · Answer

One possible answer is 4 because the chem formula is NaCl. HOWEVER there is COULD be another. NaCl is an IONIC compound, and, a such, it doesn't actually form molecules, I don't think. Depending on the level of the q, depends on how much further thought I'd give it. http://perendis.webs.com

The wording of the question isn't perfect, since they'd be chlorine ions not atoms, and NaCl is an ionic compound, with no molecules. But still, there'd be four chlorine ions.
