because it has ionic bond between ammonium ion and chloride ion.. the ionic bond is nondirectional , so a 3 dimensional lattice is formed....

Ammonium chloride is a solid at room temperature because its molecules are held together by strong ionic bonds. These bonds keep the particles tightly packed in a crystalline structure, resulting in a solid state.
Ammonium chloride is colorless.Ammonium chloride, as a solid, is white in color. It is highly soluble in water and solutions of ammonium chloride is colourless. The solid form also sublimes on heating.
To separate ammonium chloride from a mixture of ammonium chloride and sodium chloride, you can dissolve the mixture in water to form a solution. Then, heat the solution to evaporate the water, leaving behind solid ammonium chloride due to its lower melting point compared to sodium chloride. This process is known as crystallization.
You can separate ammonium chloride and sugar by using a process called sublimation. Ammonium chloride can be sublimed, or turned from a solid into a gas without melting, by heating it gently until it vaporizes. The vapor can then be collected and allowed to cool back into solid form, leaving the sugar behind. This method works because sugar does not sublimate and will remain in its solid form.
You can separate ammonium chloride from sodium chloride by sublimation. When heated, ammonium chloride sublimes directly from a solid to a gas, leaving behind sodium chloride in the mixture. The gas can be collected and cooled to convert it back into a solid, thus separating it from sodium chloride.
When ammonium hydroxide and sodium chloride mix, they react to form ammonium chloride, which is a white solid precipitate. The dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) added to the solution lowers the temperature, which promotes the formation of the solid precipitate.
