Sodium is an element. It appears on the Periodic Table as an element. (NA - 11)
Sodium is also a mineral.
Pure sodium is a soft metallic element. However, it is almost never found in this state in nature, since sodium is highly reactive. Sodium in usually found in salts of one sort or another, particularly sodium chloride, which is used as common table salt.
yes its a mineral. No, it is a chemical element that does not occur in pure form, only as a component in minerals. Here's a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sodium_minerals So strictly speaking, although it is often referred to as a mineral in dietary discussion, it is technically not a mineral.
The mineral element connected to hemoglobin is Iron.
there is none sodium is its own element SORRY!!:-(
the valency of element sodium chloride is 1
For example as sodium chloride (NaCl) - the mineral halite.
compound
Sodium
Sodium is a major mineral and is found in the fluid surrounding the cells in your body
It's a simple anorganic substance, an element in fact.
Halite is actually a mineral, a combination of the elements sodium and chlorine (NaCl).
There are many chemicals present in Soda and the two main ingredients are sugar and mineral water. The other lesser known chemicals are carbon dioxide, caffeine, phosphoric acid and sodium benzoate.
sodium is indeed a mineral
No. The definition of a native mineral is described as, among other criterion, a natural occurring mineral consisting of a single element. Halite would not fit this definition as it is a mineral containing sodium and chloride.
No, Salt is a dietary mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride.
Sodium is an element.
Sulfur is S , a chemical element . Sodium chloride ( NaCl ) is the table salt , a chemical compound . Sand represents a mineral ; the composition
