1. Generally salts are the products of a neutralization reaction - between a base and an acid.
2. Sodium chloride can be obtained also from the reaction between sodium and chlorine.
I have tried that experiment before. The salt just sits on top of the water.
Sodium reacts violently with water, while sodium chloride (or table salt) dissolves in water.
You must make it stable if it is unstable it will oxidise by definition. You would have to add another element to make the compound stable but you would then be changing it to a stable salt.
This element is chlorine (Cl).
This element is sodium (Na).
This element is sodium (Na).
This element is chlorine (Cl).
This element is chlorine (Cl).
Sodium (Na) reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride (NaCl), which is an ionic substance
Chlorine gas reacts with sodium metal to form sodium chloride (table salt) through a chemical reaction. The sodium donates an electron to the chlorine, forming an ionic bond between the two elements to create salt.
This element is chlorine (Cl).
Salt itself cannot create oxide. Oxides are compounds that are formed when an element reacts with oxygen. However, salt can be used in processes where metal oxides are produced, such as in the production of rust on iron.
