Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound, dissolving to give separated Na+ and F− ions. Like sodium chloride, it crystallizes in a cubic motif where both Na+ and F− occupy octahedral coordination sites.
The mineral form of NaF, villiaumite, is moderately rare. It is known from plutonic nepheline syenite rocks.
