What else can I help you with?
Sodium and pure chlorine are so dangerous?
how is this possible when pure sodium and chlorine are so dangerous
Why sodium oxide is basic?
Sodium oxide, Na2O, is a base because it'll react in (and with) water forming sodium hydroxide. (This is a very dangerous, exothermic reaction, so don't try this yourself!). This results in a basic solution. Na2O + H2O --> 2 NaOH
Is sodium shiny when it is cut?
yes! very fun BUT DANGEROUS to put in water
This metal explodes with cold water?
Sodium is a metal that can react explosively with water, releasing hydrogen gas and heat in the process. This reaction can be violent and dangerous, so it is important to handle sodium with extreme caution in the presence of water.
What elements are used to make up sodium?
Sodium is an elemental metal, so sodium is the only element in sodium.
How could sodium and chlorine create something harmless like salt?
because they are very reactive as individuals, which makes them dangerous, so when they react with each other they become much less reactive and harmless (as they have already reacted) so the resulting compound (salt) is a lot less dangerous than the original elements.
Is salt covalent or compound?
Sodium is a metal and Chloride is a non-metal, so ionic.
Is sodium a metal non metal or a metaliod?
Sodium CAN be a metal, just like copper CAN be a metal, but nothing is a metal, a metal is just the crystallized form of some substances. What I mean by this is, well lets take an example, you have zinc, copper, and other things in your body like that, they have a metal shape, but that does NOT mean that there is metal in our bodies. Metal is just a category of substances in solid form. So "metal" is just a solids category. So yes Sodium can be a metal. Sodium is a metal.
Why would you not build a car out of sodium?
Sodium is highly reactive with water, which can lead to fire or explosion. This makes it unsuitable for use in a car as it would pose a significant safety risk. Additionally, sodium is a soft metal, so it would not provide the necessary strength and durability needed for vehicle construction.
How are salts named?
They are named from the acids: sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, sodium oxalate, sodium fluoride etc.
What makes sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has the chemical formula NaCl - so, this molecule contain sodium and chlorine.
Is sodium ductile or malleable?
Well, sodium is a metal so it could be both. [depends on phase]
