Sodium is an element, as it consists of just one type of atom. Its symbol is Na, atomic number 11. A compound on the other hand is two or more elements that have chemically bonded together, while a mixture can be defined as two or more substances that have been brought together, but have not reacted chemically to form a new substance.

∙ 13y agoWe know that sodium hydroxide is a chemical compound. It is written as NaOH by those in the know (like you, now that you've read this) and it is what is called a base (and a strong one!). In this compound, one atom of the element sodium (Na) is bonded to an atom of the element oxygen (O) and an atom of the element hydrogen (H). Further, when NaOH is put in water, this base will form what are called ions, and we'll see positive sodium ions, Na+, and negative hydroxide ions, OH-, in solution in the water.

∙ 13y agoOn their own, sodium is an element, and chloride is an element. Together they are a compound because they have been chemically bonded. Together they are known as sodium chloride.

Is sodium chloride a compound element homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
It is a pure compound, not a mixture at all.
Is sodium chlorine a compound mixture or element?
No such substance as 'sodium chlorine'. I think you mean 'sodium chloride'. I which case it is an ionic compound. Separately , sodium(metal) is an element and chlorine(gas) is an element. They both appear in the Periodic Table. 'Mixture', does not come into question.
Is a pile of salt an element compound or mixture?
If you have a pile of pure sodium chloride, it would be a compound. A lot of the salt used as table salt, though, is not pure sodium chloride and would be a mixture of several compounds. This is particularly true if you have a pile of sea salt.
What is rock-salt element or compound?
Rock salt is the compound sodium chloride.
Why is Sodium Chloride considered a compound but oxygen gas is not?
Sodium Chloride is considered a compound because there are two different elements reacting in that compound. Oxygen gas is not considered a compound because oxygen is an element.
