Question

move the correct option to the space to complete the sentence.
the crystalline lattice structure of table salt (nacl) is due to the strong
between the positively charged sodium ions (na⁺) and the negatively charged chloride ions
(cl⁻).
repulsion combination attraction resistance

Explanation:

To determine the correct term, we analyze the interaction between ions in NaCl. Sodium ions (\(Na^+\)) are positive, chloride ions (\(Cl^-\)) are negative. Opposite charges attract, so the strong "attraction" holds the lattice structure. "Repulsion" is between like charges, "combination" implies a reaction (not structure), and "resistance" is unrelated to ion bonding.

Answer:

attraction
