Sodium is a SOFT,SILVERY AND HIGHLY REACTIVE METAL and cannot stay free in nature.It needs to be extracted from Sodium Hydroxide(Caustic Soda) and/or Sodium Chloride(Common Salt) by Castner Process.It has never been heard of to be made artificially.

A compound made of a metal and a nonmetal is a?

Usually an ionically bonded salt. For Study Island~ binary ionic compound When a metal and a nonmetal react, they produce a binary ionic compound since metals are electropositive in nature and nonmetals are highly electronegative. If the compound contains an elemental metal and nonmetal, the formula is predictable. The metal will donate an electron to the nonmetal and form a binary ionic compound. For example, sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form solid sodium chloride. Na (s) + Cl2 (g) NaCl (s)
