Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic substance. Therefore, there are no simple, discreet molecules of sodium chloride (or of other ionic solids for that matter). A sample of NaCl is instead made up of a lattice held together by strong ionic bonds. The formula NaCl is merely the simplest stochiometric ratio for the ionic crystal, which contains one Na atom for every Cl atom.
