Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, the atoms in a salt do follow a pattern knows as crystalline pattern or crystalline structure. It means it has an ordered arrangement of atoms or ions. As salt is an ionic compound of Sodium and Chlorine, it is formed through ionic bond. This pattern keeps on repeating for each molecule of NaCl
