Identify the chemical formula given: NaCl.
Recognize that Na is the chemical symbol for sodium and Cl is the chemical symbol for chlorine.
Understand that when sodium (a metal) combines with chlorine (a nonmetal), they form an ionic compound.
Recall that the naming convention for ionic compounds is to name the metal first (sodium) followed by the nonmetal with its ending changed to '-ide' (chloride).
Therefore, the correct chemical name for NaCl is sodium chloride.
