organic compound

Explanation:

To determine the type of compound for \( \text{NaCl} \), we recall the definitions: Organic compounds typically contain carbon - hydrogen bonds (or are derivatives of such compounds), while inorganic compounds do not have carbon - hydrogen bonds and are often ionic or simple molecular compounds without the characteristic carbon - based structure of organic compounds. \( \text{NaCl} \) (sodium chloride) is an ionic compound and does not contain carbon - hydrogen bonds, so it is an inorganic compound.

Answer:

Inorganic compound
