What are two similarities and differences between the elements sodium and oxygen?
Similarities: Both sodium and oxygen are essential elements found in the periodic table. Both elements are reactive, with sodium being a highly reactive metal and oxygen being a reactive nonmetal. Differences: Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal. Sodium is a solid at room temperature, while oxygen is a gas.
Is sodium a very reactive metal?
Yes sodium is very reactive metal.Just because of this it is kept in kerosene or some another oil because it is very reactive with oxygen and water.
Why shouldn't sodium be kept open to the air?
Sodium is very reactive and easily react with oxygen or water.
How does sodium react with oxygen?
Sodium reacts vigorously with oxygen to form sodium oxide, Na2O. This reaction is exothermic and can result in the release of heat and light. Sodium is a highly reactive metal and readily combines with oxygen to form an oxide.
What happens when oxygen reacts with sodium chloride?
Nothing, table salt is indifferent to oxygen.
Which element is more likely to react with oxygen Sodium or Calcium please explain if you can thank you?
Sodium. Sodium is more reactive than calcium, because sodium has one valence electron whereas calcium has two valence electron. It is easier to lose one electron and react with oxygen and form sodium oxide, compared to losing two electrons and from calcium oxide.
Is sodium and oxygen a metal or non-metal?
Do you breathe metal? Oxygen is a gas, not metal.
What element is most reactive with sulfur?
Among all non--metalsFlorineis the most reactive.
Is magnesium more reactive than sodium?
sodium is more reactive than magnesium!
Is sodium a reactive metal?
Yes, sodium is extremely reactive.
Is sodium peroxide an acid or alkali?
Sodium peroxide is a strong alkali. It is a yellow-white solid that is highly reactive with water, releasing oxygen and forming sodium hydroxide.
What are chemical properties for sodium?
Sodium is a highly reactive metal. It reacts with water to give sodium hydroxide, and with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate. It the reaction with oxygen, the principal product is sodium peroxide.
