Emergent properties are new properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases. The physical, chemical, and biological properties of salt are the emergent properties.
Sodium is a metal and Chlorine is a poisonous gas, but when mixed together they form Sodium chloride, which has a crystal structure. This physical property is an example of how table salt is an emergent property.
Table salt is said to have emergent properties because the compound has different characteristics from those of its elements. It is composed of Sodium which is a metal and Chlorine a poisonous gas but when chemically combined together they form an edible substance.

When hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide combine do they form table salt or sodium metal?
I'm pretty sure combined they form table salt because sodium and chlorine make salt and they have similar properties and it said so in my textbook so yes I think it forms table salt. An acid + metal hydroxide => Salt and water Therefore Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide => Sodium Chloride + water
