Why do sodium oxide and sodium chloride burn the same color?

Both sodium oxide and sodium chloride contain sodium ions which exhibit a characteristic yellow color when burned. This color comes from the emission of energy as the electrons in the sodium ions transition to lower energy levels. Thus, both compounds burn with a yellow flame.


How do the properties of sodium chloride compare with the properties of sodium and of chlorine?

Sodium chloride is a nonreactive solid at room temperature, and is commonly known as table salt. The two elements that make up sodium chloride are sodium and chlorine. Sodium is a very reactive metal that tastes bad. Pure sodium is explosive when it comes in contact with water. Chlorine is a nonreactive gas that is poisonous, and will kill you if you breathe enough of it. Sodium chloride retains neither the properties of sodium nor the properties of chlorine. This is because compounds (such as sodium chloride) have their own characteristics, and not the characteristics of its component elements.


What is the chemical name for the element sodium Na?

Na is the chemical symbol for sodium. Na is from the word natrium, which is Latin for sodium carbonate.


How do you chemically form table salt?

The saltiness of the ocean comes mostly from?

The saltiness of the ocean mainly comes from the mineral content of the Earth's crust, which gets dissolved and carried into the ocean by rivers. The primary components of ocean salt are sodium and chloride ions, found in compounds like sodium chloride (table salt).


Why is the scientific name NaCl?

Sodium chloride got its name because it's chemical formula is NaCl; 1 sodium atom and one chlorine atom. When a chlorine atom is part of an ionic compound, it's end is changed from -ine to -ide.
