Sodium maintains blood pressure. Necessary in generation of action potential in nervous tissue as well contraction of muscles.
It is found in the compound for table salt, and in liquid soap.
From the Latin word natruim.
Na+ = 1s2, 2s22p6, 3s0which is 2, 8, 0 of Neon
Sodium is a metal element. Atomic mass of it is 23.
Na2S2O3 That's 2 sodiums at 23 each, 2 sulfurs at 32 each, and 3 oxygens at 16 each. 23+23+32+32+16+16+16=158g/mol.
It means that 1 mol of sodium (6.02x1023 sodium atoms) has a mass of 22.99 grams.It also means that 1 single sodium atom has a mass of 22.99 "amu", which is a very small unit of mass. You'll work with the first interpretation the most.
The element sodium is essential to human biology and is consumed in the form of table salt, which is sodium chloride.
