Options

A. Na(g) + `Cl_(2) (g) to NaCl(s)`
B. Na(s) ` + (1)/(2) Cl_(2) (g) to NaCl(s)`
C. `Na(g) + (1)/(2) Cl_(2) (g) to NaCl(s)`
D. `Na(g) + Cl_(2) (g) to NaCl (g) `

Answer

B

Explanation

The correct reaction for the formation of NaCl is `Na(s) + (1)/(2)Cl(g) to NaCl(s)`
(As the compounds are formed from their elements when they are present in their most stable form) .
