Explanation:
The difference between NaCl and NaCl2 is that NaCl is the chemical formula for sodium chloride while NaCl2 does not exist. This is because, sodium is univalent and chlorine is also univalent, so during chemical combination between the two elements, there'll be interchanging of the valency.
