Yes. Table salt (sodium chloride) is a stable compound, but it is obviously not wise to pour loads of salt on your food, as it can cause harm to your body.

Straight sodium is very reactive. When it contacts water, it quickly reacts according to the equation 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2. You may recognize NaOH by it's common name - lye. Chlorine gas is likewise very reactive. If you get the two of them together, however, you get 2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl + a lot of heat. Once the NaCl has formed, it is very stable and doesn't want to react with anything else.
