I was looking through the datasheet for the ADG506A/ADG507A and on the chip there are these terminal marked as NC and underneath the image it says "NC = NO CONNECT". They are also not explained in the terminology section of the datasheet and I am not sure whether I should have them connected to ground when I am using the chip or just leave them alone. What purpose do the serve anyways?

No connect means just that -- don't connect the terminal to anything. They often appear on devices because the manufacturer uses a standard form factor that has more terminals than are needed for that particular device.
