An ionic compound (of a type called a salt) with the name sodium chloride and formula NaCl.
NaCl, which is table salt.
Na + Cl --> NaCl aka Sodium Chloride or table salt It is one of the basic synthesis reactions, a metal and a nonmetal forming a salt or ionic compound.
Naturally, Sodium is a metal (solid) and chlorine is a gas, so they only react at high temperatures or pressure. When they do react, they form crystals (sodium chloride).
Salt
Sodium chloride is formed by the reaction of sodium (Na) metal with chlorine (Cl) gas.
what does sodium metal and choline gas react to form
Sodium and Chlorine form Sodium Chloride when they react. This is because the cation of sodium is added to the anion of chlorine.
Very Carefully...
Sodium reacts the most on the periodic table.It is alkali metal with atomic number 11.It forms sodium chlorine with cl.
Chlorine, Potassium, or other solids or liquids can make salts.
Sodium metal and chlorine gas do not "attract" each other. They react chemically - sodium metal is oxidised - losing one electron- chlorine is reduced gaining one. The two resulting oppositely charged ions, Na+ and Cl- form the ionic compound NaCl
No.
