Can sodium chloride be separated?
You are correct that a compound can't be separated by a physical change. However, when you put NaCl in water, although the water looks innocent, it actually reacts with the NaCl and a chemical change takes place. The water molecules interact with the sodium and chloride ions and break them apart.22
Why is sodium chloride hard?
Why is sodium chloride 6:6-coordinated? The more attraction there is between the positive and negative ions, the more energy is released. The more energy that is released, the more energetically stable the structure becomes. That means that to gain maximum stability, you need the maximum number of attractions.
