NO!!! However, if you have a gas jar of chlorine, and place a pellet of sodium in it, they will react to form sodium chloride (salt)
It's sodium chloride if you're talking about the compound NaCl. And no, the property of the compound will not be the same as the property of either of the elements.
Chlorine and sodium combine to produce the ionic compound sodium chloride.
potassium and chlorine
A compound, by definition is made up of more than one element. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is vastly different from both elemental sodium (which is a metal which dissolves when exposed to water) and chlorine (which is a gas that can kill you if you inhale enough of it). When you react both Sodium and Chlorine however.

Chlorine is diatomic but Sodium is not.
Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.

A sodium ion is a sodium atom missing one electron. A chlorine ion is a chlorine atom with an extra electron. A salt molecule is a sodium ion stuck to a chlorine ion.
Ordinary salt is a compound formed from sodium and chlorine.
Sodium and chlorine are elements. If you mean one sodium atom and one chlorine atom yes they would be both isotopes but of different elemnts. If they were randomly sampled from nature the sodium atom would almost certainly be sodium-23 (there is only a trace of sodium-22 found in nature) and the chlorine atom would most likely be chlorine-35 as this isotope is about 75% of chlorine)
the sodium (Na) atom gives its single outermose electron to chlorine to form two ions of different charge.
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct
A chemical difference is that sodium reacts with water to make an alkali, and chlorine plus water give acids. A physical difference is that sodium is a solid at room temperature and chlorine is a gas.
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chlorine sodium and chlorine.
