period 3 group 1
Sodium's atomic name is sodium (NA).
The ionic structure of salt NaCl consists of positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl-) arranged in a repeating lattice structure. The sodium ions are attracted to the chloride ions through electrostatic forces, forming a stable crystal structure.
The density of sodium is about 0.97 grams per cubic centimeter at room temperature.
It is a soft solid metal and easily may be cut down with knife or blade.
The atom right under it and in sodiums family; potassium.
