Sodium is:
1. Metallic
2. Silver in color
3. Very soft
4. Reacts violently in water
5. Must be kept in oil to be safely stored.
Its a physical
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound (NaCl), not a property.
Slicing a sodium pellet in two is a physical property because it does not change the chemical composition of the sodium. Chemical properties relate to the substance's ability to undergo chemical reactions, while physical properties pertain to characteristics such as size, shape, and state of matter.
Sodium and bromine are chemical elements, not properties; the chemical reaction between sodium and bromine is a chemical process, not a property.

No, sodium metal exploding in water is a chemical reaction, not a physical property. Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed or measured without changing the substance's composition, such as color, density, or melting point.
The metallic silver appearance of sodium is a physical property because it relates to its visual appearance and how it interacts with light, rather than a chemical change in its composition.
Neither, Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a salt (table salt) made by reacting the metal Sodium with the Gas Chlorine. The substance, Sodium Chloride, has both physical and chemical properties but is not a property itself.

That is a physical property. The metallic silver luster is a characteristic of the way light interacts with the surface of the sodium metal, rather than a result of a chemical reaction.
The fact that sodium metal is soft enough to cut with a butter knife is a physical property. This property describes a characteristic of the substance itself without changing its chemical composition.
