If you were to look at grains of table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) with a magnifying glass, you would see that each grain is a little cube. Why are salt grains cubical?
All extended structure compounds form cubes
Sodium and chlorine atoms both have cubical shapes
In the extended structure of NaCl, atoms are arranged in a cubical pattern
A molecule of NaCl contains eight atoms, each at one of the corners of a cube
