NaCl
Table condiment chemically
NaCl is the chemical formula for sodium chloride—table salt.
The notation combines Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine), the two elements that bond to form the compound.
Scientists and medical professionals use NaCl as shorthand: The patient received an NaCl IV drip.
In casual contexts, it sometimes appears as a playful or technical way to say salt.
