Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why common salt (NaCl) sometimes appears yellow, we can break down the explanation into several steps: ### Step 1: Understanding the Structure of NaCl Sodium chloride (NaCl) forms a crystal lattice structure composed of sodium ions (Na⁺) and chloride ions (Cl⁻). In this structure, each sodium ion is surrounded by six chloride ions and vice versa. **Hint:** Remember that NaCl has a regular arrangement of cations and anions in its crystal lattice. ### Step 2: Heating NaCl in the Presence of Sodium Vapor ...
