Is sodium chloride a single element?
Sodium Chloride is salt. (The stuff you put on your food).Sodium Chloride is made up of Sodium and Chlorine (NaCl)It is not a single element.
Is salt an element since the abbreviation is NaCl for sodium and chlorine?
Salt is a compound - not an element. An element is a single substance - for example - sodium is an element and so is chlorine. A compound is a combination of 2 or more elements in one molecule. Sodium chloride - NaCl (salt) is, therefore, an element.
Which element loses electrons in sodium chloride?
The chloride ions lose a single electron each to become chlorine.
Is salt a mixture a compound or a element?
Common salt, sodium chloride, is a compound of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) A mixture is just two things existing together but not combining chemically, for example, salt and sand mixed together. They can be separated without being chemically changed. An element is a single atom not combined with anything else. For example, sodium and chlorine are both elements. Combined chemically, the form a compound.
Which single replacement reaction will occur?
When a compound is mixed with an element. KCl is more than one element put together, thus it is a compound. Sodium (Na) is an element, so if you combine the two, it is a single replacement reaction.
Which element has a gaint structure chlorine copper glass sodium chloride?
Copper has a giant structure, in the sense that all its electrons can move freely through the entire mass of a single piece of the element. Chlorine has distinct molecules, and glass and sodium chloride are not elements but compounds.
Is chloride ion a compound?
No, the chloride ion is a single elemental ion, Cl-.
Is copper choride an element or compound or mixture?
an element is a single atom of a substance. compound is formed when two are more mixtures are chemically combined. this can be separated only by chemical reactions. mixture is a group of substances which can be separated by physical process. so copper chloride is a compound.
Why does sodium carbonate not decompose when using a Bunsen burner?
because its a single, stable element. its not like copper carbonate, which is a compound of more that one element; here these elements can break apart
Why sodium's electron and chlorine's electron attract each other?
The electrons do not attract each other. The single valence electron of a sodium atom is given up to a chlorine atom. This results in the sodium atom forming a positive sodium ion, and the chlorine atom forming a negative chloride ion. The oppositely charged ions form an electrostatic attraction, which forms the neutral ionic compound of sodium chloride.
Is common salt a compound?
Yes, common salt (table salt) is a compound. It's sodium chloride, or NaCl, and a single molecule is composed of one atom of sodium (Na) and one atom of chlorine (Cl). The two atoms form an ionic bond to make this compound.
Explain why salt is a compound while the oxygen we breathe is not?
Salt contains atoms of two different elements: sodium and chlorine. Oxygen consists of a single element.
