What is difference between sodium and sodium chloride?

Answer 1

Sodium chloride is the chemical way of writing it whereas chlorine sodium is simply listing the names of the atoms in the combination. When you name a compound, you name the anion followed by the cation. In this case Sodium (Na) is the anion and Chlorine (Cl) is the cation. So when you combine the two atoms you get

Na+Cl->NaCl or Sodium Chloride.

Answer 2

Hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a compound of the two nonmetals hydrogen and chlorine. It is a covalent compound, but ionizes in water. Because it completely ionizes in water to produce hydrogen ions (H+) it is a strong acid. In its pure form it is a gas.

Sodium chloride or table salt (NaCl) is a compound of the metal sodium and the nonmetal chlorine. It is a water-soluble ionic compound. It has no acidic or basic properties. In its pure form it is a crystalline solid.

Answer 3

Sodium is an element. It is a soft silvery metal and is highly reactive.

Sodium chloride is a white crystalline ionic solid found in every home (common salt) and is a chemical compound of sodium and chlorine. It has the chemical fomula of NaCl

Answer 4

chlorine is the element

chloride is the name of it's ion

with a charge of only negative 1

Answer 5

There is salts containing Hypochlorite ions but there is no such thing as Hypochlorate

Answer 6

Sodium Hypocloride does not have hydrogen (proof: NaOCl). Sodium Hydrochloride does have hydrogen (proof: NaHCl). They both are bleaching agents.

Answer 7

Basically, sodium is a metal in the Alkali group and Chlorine is a nonmetal in the Halogen group. And a diatomic gas.

Answer 8

No. Sodium chlorite is NaClO2. Sodium hypochlorite is NaClO. They have different properties.

Answer 9

Chlorine is a yellow-green, toxic gas. Sodium chloride, or common table salt, is a nontoxic crystalline solid.
