Explanation:
Sodium chloride has a giant ionic lattice. This is formed due to the ionic bonding, which involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another to ensure each atom has a full outer shell of electrons. ... These electrostatic forces of attraction act in all directions which holds the ions in a giant ionic lattice.

Answer:
Sodium chloride is is a giant ionic lattice.It is formed because of the ionic bonding. sodium atoms come together, the electron in the 3s atomic orbital of one sodium atom shares space with the corresponding electron on a neighboring atom to form a molecular orbital - in much the same sort of way that a covalent bond is formed.
