yes sodium is a alklaine metal it belong to the alkaline metal group
alkaline because in NaOH, Na is plus and OH is minus. when hydrogen is plus it is an acid when it is negative it is a base (alkaline)
Sodium Na is a Group 1 element (alkaline earth metals)
Yes na/Sodium is an alkali metal. All metals in group 1 are alkalis.
Alkaline metals: Li, Na, K, Cs, Rb, Fr.
Sodium Hydroxide Solution is a a strong Alkali with a pH reading of 13.
prety sure that only Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) can react with calcium. check the reactivity series for more info.
You consider its position in the periodic table and follow the octet rule. Na is an alkaline metal, and the characteristics of these are that they will almost react with anything, especially water.
table salt is NaCl. Na is sodium and Cl is chloride. Look at the periodic table and you'll see that Na is found in Group 1, or alkali metals.
sodium(Na) belongs to the Ist group. This group is also known as alkaline metals.
In solution the number of chloride ions (negative) equals the number of positive ions (sodium). NaCl -> Na+ + Cl- which is neutral in totality (neither acid nor alkaline)
F-F Cl-Cl or any other halogen-halogen ;halogen- alkaline metal Na-Cl
When borax is dissolved in water it ionizes and hydrolysis of borate ion gives OH (the hydroxyl ion) and boric acid. Since boric acid is a weak acid AND Na-OH is strong a alkali an aqueous solution of borax is alkaline in nature.
