Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) - containing sodium and chlorine.
[read this, if you don't think it sounds good, don't use it or if it does not make good sense do not use it but read it first . THANK YOU!] What i think the statement means by is that the properties of salts are formed when an element in the group under sodium or magnesium in the Periodic Table combines with an element under fluorine.
Potassium. Sodium is in group1 (period2) the next heaviest element is potassium (period 3). Potassium forms salts with the K+ ion.
no
YES
Salts are made of a combination of halogen atoms and alkali metal atoms. These atoms have specific properties. If they combine with other atoms, however, and they make salts, then these salts have different properties than the atoms that make them. For example, sodium chloride is probably the most famous salt. Sodium is a soft, reactive metal and chlorine is a greenish gas (which, if possible, is even more reactive than sodium), but sodium chloride is a white and extremely nonreactive solid.
The electrical properties of salts are very different.
- all metal salts are ionic compounds - many salts are soluble in water and are dissociated
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element is the atom.
The atom is the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of the element.
he properties of salts are different from the properties of elements that go into making them
Salts are chemical compounds not elements.
Dissolved salts have an influence on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the solution.
