Is sodium and chlorine close together on the pereodic table?

Sodium is at the extreme left and chlorine is in the next-to-rightmost cell of period 3. Most would not consider that close.


Why is the chlorine ion attracked to the sodium ion?

When elements first come together they are both electrically neutral. When they get close enough, an electron transfers from the sodium to the chlorine. This makes the a positive sodium ion, Na+, and a negative chlorine ion, Cl-.


Is chlorine found in its elemental state or combined with other elements?

Chlorine is never found free in nature. It is always combined with another or other elements into compounds. Chlorine is highly reactive, and it wants to borrow an electron from just anything it can get close to. In general, it actually wants to "steal" that electron to form an ionic bond, and sodium chloride (NaCl), which is table salt, is one example of a common chlorine compound.


What the difference between Na and Cl elements?

This question can be referencing the molecular compounds of sodium chloride (NaCl) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Sodium Chloride (table salt) is strongly held together at the atomic/molecular level by ionic bonds. In contrast carbon dioxide has shared electrons through covalent bonding.


Is Soda ash sodium bicarbonate?

Close but not quite. Soda ash is sodium carbonate.

Which metal is similar in properties to sodium on the periodic table?

potassium is very close in properties with sodium after it calcium is closer to sodium in properties.


Which has higher dissociation constant NaCl or CH3CooNa?

They are very close to each other, they both dissociate completely in solution, as they both contain the sodium cation. 36g of NaCl can dissolve in 100g of H_2_0 and 50.4g of NaCH_3_COO can dissolve in 100g of H_2_O So Sodium acetate is slightly more soluable because it also forms a weak acid with the acetate ion, creating a buffer solution, where as sodium and chlorine do not.


What is the combined percentage of magnesium and sulfur in the dissolved solids in ocean water?

there is a circular graph that shows sodium in 30.6% chlorine is 55.0%, magnesium is 7.7% and sulfur is 3.7%percentge the close ones are calcium which is 1.2%, potassium which is 1.1% and others is 0.7 %


Is sodium Na used as salt?

Sodium has many common uses. Have you ever put salt on a dish to give it more flavor? You are actually putting on Sodium Chloride (NaCl), a compound of the element. Some of it's other uses are Soda Ash (Na2CO3), Baking Soda (NaHCO3), Caustic Soda (NaOH), Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3), Sodium Thiosulfate (hypo, Na2S2O3 - 5H2O), and Sodium Sulfate (Na2SO4), the sodium salt of sulfuric acid (Keep in mind that these are nowhere close to all the uses of sodium, but some)ans2Sodium is used in alot of food, especially salt. It is also used in alot of medicines!:) hope i heped!


Do you close the contact case overnight?

Yes. If you do not close your contact case overnight, the contact lens will dry out and you will not be able to get them soft again no matter how much solution you use.
