Sodium Hypochlorite Chemical Structure

Build a sodium hypochlorite molecular model with Genuine Molymod Atoms & Bonds.

Sodium hypochlorite is a white powder that dissolves in water and produces a sodium hypochlorite solution or common household bleach. It is has a simple chemical structure that dissociates into a sodium cation & the hypochlorite (chlorine & oxygen) anion shown in the image. This deceptively simple compound has many uses.

It is a powerful bleaching agent and a staple in homes for whitening cloths. At the municipal level it has been a standard tool in water treatment & singularly responsible for reducing deaths due to cholera & other waterborne diseases.

It is an effective & economical antibacterial & antiviral disinfectant, It used in hospitals, long term care homes & restaurants to clean surfaces of dishes, eating utensils, taps, doorknobs, floors & more.
