Sodium chloride or common table salt is the chemical compound NaCl, composed of the elements sodium and chloride. It is naturally occurring as a solid, so it does not have a "freezing" point. If you meant what is the melting point, then the previous answerer is right (about 801C).

Anyway, you can find all the characteristic of the compoud here: http://www.saltinstitute.org/15.html
