Sodium is useful in many ways. Sodium is used in our everyday table salt. So you can say that sodium is useful for spicing up our meals:) Sodium also forms useful compounds. This helps scientists to create new and easier ways of doing things with these new compounds. Don't forget that sodium is in baking soda!

I hope this helped you on your project, or your homework or whatever... :):):):)
