The metal is sodium, Na. In most compounds, the metal (if there is one) will come first, followed by the non-metal. NaCl is sodium chloride, more commonly known as table salt. It consists of one atom of sodium (a highly reactive alkali metal) and chlorine (a highly reactive non-metal halogen.)

What process is used to separate Fe from NaCl?
a magnet. fe is a metal and NaCl is already a compound
What do all ionic compounds contain?
a metal and a nonmetal. For example, NaCl. Na is the metal, and Cl is the nonmetal.
Does a reaction of a metal and a non-metal form a base or an acid?
Neither. It's a salt which is formed from a neutralization reaction. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride) is table salt. It is made from a metal (sodium) and a nonmetal (chlorine).
Most ionic compounds are made up of a?
A metal and a non-metal. Table salt, NaCl, is an excellent example.
What is the non metal in table salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium.
Is NACL metallic?
Sodium chloride is not a metal.
What process is used to separate Fe from NaCl?
a magnet. fe is a metal and NaCl is already a compound
What is a metal halide compound?
Common table salt NaCl is a metal halide.
Where in the formula NaCl is the metal written?
Na, Sodium, from the Latin for natrium, is a metal
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form?
An ionic compound (of a type called a salt) with the name sodium chloride and formula NaCl.
Is zinc in salt?
There are hundreds of salts. A metal atom forms an ionic bond to a non metal atom, this is called a salt. ZnF2, zinc fluoride is a salt. Table salt is NaCl, there is no zinc in it.
An active metal and halogen react to form a?
A metal and halogen react to form an ionic bond in which the metal gives an eletron to the halogen Most basic example would be table salt NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H20
Is NaCl a metal or non-metal?
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a chemical element.
Is sodium chloride ionic or covalent compound?
Because sodium is a metal and chlorine is a non metal, it is ionically bonded.
What do all ionic compounds contain?
a metal and a nonmetal. For example, NaCl. Na is the metal, and Cl is the nonmetal.
Does a reaction of a metal and a non-metal form a base or an acid?
Neither. It's a salt which is formed from a neutralization reaction. For example, NaCl (sodium chloride) is table salt. It is made from a metal (sodium) and a nonmetal (chlorine).
What is a substance composed of a metal ion and a nonmetal ion?
Pure in what way? Table salt is an example of Sodium, a metal, mixing with Chlorine, a gas: NaCl
