Because pure sodium in it's basic form is actually a metal. Chemistry is a study of the Elements and how they form to make compounds. The elements are the basic chemicals and are found listed in a chemical chart. Before the chemicals were discovered and understood and then named, people gave them simple or everyday names like "salt", "vinegar" and other type names. Salt is made from Sodium (Na) and Chloride(Cl) and the resulting compound has the chemical formula NaCl and name sodium chloride. Go to the library and check out a book on Chemistry.
