What are the properties of the elements sodium and chlorine and the compound they form?
Sodium and chlorine combine to form sodium chloride (common salt). Please see the links for information about the properties of these substances.
Sodium chloride is made up of sodium and chlorine but isn't a poisonous gas and it doesn't explode in waterExplain why?
When these substances are chemically combined to form table salt, it has its own properties. It did not keep the sodium or chlorine's properties.
Can a element be broken down into substances with different properties?
No. Compounds and mixtures are made of elements and can be broken down, as in table salt which is Sodium Chloride and can be split into sodium and chlorine gas, which are elements that have different properties.
What substances are in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride contain sodium and chlorine.
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 substances do you get from salt?
Examples: sodium, chlorine, hydrogen, sodium hydroxide.
Are the properties of chlorine the same as the properties of sodium chloride?
The properties of chlorine are highly different from sodium chloride one of the differences is the boiling point. Chlorine has a melting point of 171.6 K whereas sodium chloride has a melting point of 1074 K.
How do the properties of salt compare with the properties of sodium and chlorine?
Salt is a common condiment, while sodium burns on contact with water and chlorine gas is poisonous.
Why do the properties of sodium chloride differ from the properties of sodium metal and chlorine gas?
Because the ions of the sodium chloride compound have a different valence band electron structure (more like the noble gases and thus less reactive) than the elements sodium and chlorine. However being electrically charged these ions also acquire ability to interact that the original uncharged elements do not have.
What are some substances in salt?
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine.
What are the common substances of salt?
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) contain sodium and chlorine.
When sodium and chlorine link up do their properties change?
yes
