No, sodium is an alkali metal.
The halogens are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.
Sodium plus Halogen yields Sodium Halide
The halogen in sodium hypochlorite is chlorine. Sodium hypochlorite is the chemical compound with the formula NaClO, where chlorine is the halogen element that provides its disinfecting properties.
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.
Chlorine is a halogen.
Halogen reacts with metals to form salts. For example, sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride (table salt).
The metal is Sodium (Na) and the halogen is Chlorine (Cl) - thus table salt is NaCl.
Halogen is the family of salt producing elements.
The name of the chlorine family member is a halogen.
Iodine belongs to group 17. It is in the family called the halogens.
Yes, it is. Though rarely talked about Astatine is in the Halogen family.
