      Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chloride) 


      Sodium chloride, also known as salt, common salt, table salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl (sodium+chloride). Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. As the major ingredient in edible salt, it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative.
