  2. B \(\mathrm{Na}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \operatorname{NaCl}(s)\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Na}(g)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(s)\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na}(g)+\mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(g)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Na}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \operatorname{NaCl}(s)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The correct reaction for the formation of \(\mathrm{NaCl}\) is
\(
\mathrm{Na}(s)+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NaCl}(s)
\)
(As the compounds are formed from their elements when they are present in their most stable form.)
