Chemical nonsense. en:Sodium hypobromite is ionic. Have File:Sodium hypobromite.png as image-of-text (that detail itself a separate problem) that it at least correct. Note that I don't think simply erasing the covalent bond is not appropriate because I cannot find evidence that the actual 3D structure of this ionic material is known (a pretty picture should not be used to mislead readers).

- I know sodium hypobromite is ionic and I so I ask, why the ionic hypobromous acid features that chemical structure and is accepted by your stupid point of view and sodium hypobromite doesn't. Otherwise I meant to show the elements composing the structure (because the article need it) without any preoccupation with bondings. Wikipedia is full of ionic substances with covalent representation but what important is the structure representation without preoccupation with distance among atoms, atoms' size, etc. Instead of deleting file, you should create articles for not to show stupid behaviour only deleting them.Claudio Pistilli (talk) 09:41, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
See how incongruous you are:
is right.
(according to you) is not right.
Can anyone understand such incongruities?Claudio Pistilli (talk) 09:57, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
for example, this file is used in more than 50 articles and you do not dare to delete it. For me it is not wrong, the author just wanted to show the composition of sodium chloride and its bonding inter sodium and chlorine, not exactly the covalent or ionic bond. We cannot show all information about a substance showing only its 3D chemical structure. Don't you agree? ~~
- The NaCl molecule is...based on a cited literature reference that clearly states the unusual physical state—gaseous (!) at 775 °C (!). HOBr is covalent per ref (it's a "weak acid" in solution) as is the NaOBr being ionic. It is up to us to learn what nature is (reading scientific journals), not to decide how we wish nature to be (learning one fact and assuming it follows a pattern we like even without evidence). That's not science. The covalent NaCl it is only properly usable in rare cases. That is not its bonding in the context of any ordinary chemical reaction (presumably in solution, not at many hundreds of degrees). It's ionic. There is not "1:1" pairing. Why do you insist on using non-scientific nonsense to mislead your readers? If you are talking about a normal reaction, where it is ionic, represent it as such so your readers will learn facts not your fantasy. Maybe "3D chemical structure" isn't the appropriate way to illustrate some things? But you knew that, because you created File:Sodium chloride ionic.png. DMacks (talk) 10:53, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
Keep because eo.wikipedia.org is using it (per COM:INUSE). Chem Sim 2001 (talk) 10:30, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
Accepting updated correct image supplied by original uploader. It's good that person is learning some science along the way here, shame that person doesn't spend the time first before we have to spend so much time later. DMacks (talk) 00:04, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
