Give scientific reason:Ionic compound NaCl has very high stability. – InterviewSolution

1.	Give scientific reason:Ionic compound NaCl has very high stability.
Answer» The outermost shell of both Na⁺ and Cl^- ions is a complete octet. An electronic configuration with a complete octet indicates a stable state. A molecule of NaCl has Na⁺ and Cl^- ions. An ionic bond is formed between these ions. The force of attraction between them is very strong as it is formed between the oppositely charged Na⁺ and Cl^- ions. Therefore NaCl, an ionic compound has very high stability.
