Typically electrolysis of molten sodium chloride
Ionic bond
The chemical formula of metallic sodium is Na.
Sodium is atomic / metallic.
No, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) does not contain metallic elements. It is composed of sodium (a metal) and bicarbonate (a non-metallic element).
Table salt is NaCl and thus the metallic element is sodium (Na). The Cl, chlorine, is non-metallic.
no, it contains the metal Sodium.
Pure sodium is a metallic crystalline solid.
No, the bonds in sodium chloride are ionic. Metallic bonds form only among metals, not with nonmetals.
A metallic bond would be expected between two sodium atoms. In metallic bonding, electrons are delocalized and move freely between atoms, holding them together in a lattice structure. Sodium is a metal and tends to form metallic bonds with other sodium atoms.

The metallic ion in this case is Na+, or sodium. If there is a metal ion in a chemical formula, it will be the one written at the beginning.
