First of all NaCl is just one salt. What else is true about it? It is an ionic compound. The net ionic reaction for such a compound is Na(+) + Cl(-) -----> NaCl(s).
It is the most common but it is only one among the various salts out there. All salts are ionic compounds (to say the least).

tablesalt is the layman's term for SODIUM CHLORIDE. there are many kinds of salts like magnesium chloride and the likes. seawater is composed not only of sodium chloride but of many types of salts.
the symbol for sodium chloride is
NaCl (one ion of sodium and one ion of chlorine)
it is formed by ionic bonding contrary to sugar which is formed through covalent bonding
