How much energy is required to breakdown nacl bond?

If I melt NaCl, I get a molten salt. This means a liquid formed only by ions (Cl− and Na+). That could mean that the crystal NaCl experimented a chemical change:
NaCl⟶Cl−+Na+
Like a chemical reaction... The ions have now more space to move and interact with much more ions than in the solid phase. I am trying to get an explanaition why the melting temeprature and the melting heat of molten salts show some erratic behaviour, I mean they do not follow a simple pattern such as that found for n-alkanes or n-alkanols.
Answer:
The classic case of ionic bonding, the sodium chloride molecule forms by the ionization of sodium and chlorine atoms and the attraction of the resulting ions. An atom of sodium has one 3s electron outside a closed shell, and it takes only 5.14 electron volts of energy to remove that electron.
