In the simplest terms, a compound has different properties from its component elements.
Sodium's high reactivity is due to the fact that it has 1 valence electron which it loses easily, making it extremely reactive. It is a strong reducer.
When it loses this electron it forms the sodium ion (Na+), which is stable and mostly nonreactive.
Chlorine is 1 electron short of a stable valence shell of 8 electrons. It has a strong tendency to acquire another electron to form the chloride ion (Cl-), making it very reactive. It is a strong oxidizer.
The chloride ion is stable and fairly nonreactive.
We are able to eat table salt without getting poisoned because, when sodium and chlorine are mixed they form table salt, table salt is an compound & an compound has totally different properties than its constituents ,so the poisonous properties are changed n we are able to eat the table salt without getting poisoned....
When sodium and chlorine combine to form table salt (sodium chloride), they undergo a chemical reaction that changes their properties. Table salt is a stable compound that your body can tolerate in small amounts without causing harm. The individual elements of sodium and chlorine are toxic in their pure form, but when they form table salt, their toxicity is significantly reduced.

Table salt is a compound of sodium and chlorine. The properties of a compound are entirely different from those of its constituents. A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by physical processes. Hence, when sodium and chlorine chemically combine in a fixed proportion by mass, sodium chloride is formed which do not cause any harm.
he had to avoid getting poisoned by foods.
Yes, there is a risk of getting poisoned from a cut by a metal can if the contents are toxic. Additionally, a deep cut from a metal can could lead to infection if not properly treated. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience a significant injury from a metal can.
You can't. However, it may be too weak to affect oneself.
yes the chlorine isn't bleach it wont do anything to your hair
If the criminal is good at his job, it would be impossible to tell poisoned from non-poisoned food. The best way to tell is to have someone else try the food first, then see if they die. If they do die, it's probably poisoned.
You don't have to. Pools contain chlorine. The chlorine actually prevents infection.
I have heard unsubstantiated reports of people getting sick from eating them.
A bug bomb is poison that's why it kills the bugs. So, if you breathe it in you are getting poisoned. Not smart.
