Ionic compounds: definition and main characteristics

question 1

The electrostatic attraction force is responsible for the union of ions, where electrical charges of opposite signs attract. Speaking at a microscopic level, such attraction between ions ends up producing clusters with well-defined geometric shapes, represented by the following figure:

What is the best definition for this ionic structure and what compound is formed from it?

a) salt / potassium chloride crystals
b) flat-faced crystal / calcium chloride
c) crystalline reticulum / sodium chloride
d) bonding lattice / sodium chlorate
e) double-sided structure / sodium chloride
