No, sodium is an alkali metal.
The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
yes
It's apart of the halogen family, along with Chlorine (Cl), Bromine (Br), Iodine(I) and Astatine (At) hope this helped :)
If you think to sodium chloride (NaCl) this contain Na and Cl (halogen).
Table salt is NaCl: sodium is an alkali metal, chlorine is a halogen. Sodium fluoride: sodium is an alkali metal, fluorine is a halogen.
Sodium plus Halogen yields Sodium Halide
The halogen family of elements make up group VIIA of the periodic table. They are the nonmetallic chemical elements fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. The name halogen means salt, and all of these elements, each having a valence of -1, will readily react with sodium to form the halides sodium fluoride, sodium chloride (common table salt), sodium bromide, sodium iodide, and sodium astatide.
Halogen is the family of salt producing elements.
Chlorine with a +1 charge
Yes, it is. Though rarely talked about Astatine is in the Halogen family.
The metal is Sodium (Na) and the halogen is Chlorine (Cl) - thus table salt is NaCl.
The halogen family
Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine. All of the elements in the halogen family are nonmetals.
