Sodium is a metal and a solid under standard conditions. However it is so reactive it is naturally found in compounds like sodium chloride.
Sodium is highly reactive and never exists in free state. It is always found in the combined state.
Sodium hydroxide is rarely found in naturally occurring salts. These salts are formed as a result of a numerous chemical reactions. As NaOH is a strong alkali, it always tends to react with an acid to form a salt of sodium.
Calcium isn't usually found in its elemental state, but can be found in many minerals, such as gypsum and calcite.
Sodium does occur naturally in the earth. However it is a very reactive metal and only occurs as compounds of sodium (e.g. sea salt NaCl).
Sodium is a metal and a solid under standard conditions. However it is so reactive it is naturally found in compounds like sodium chloride.
Because of its high reactivity is not found naturally in its elemental state; Sodium metal tarnished readily in air due to the formation of a layer of Sodium Oxide on the surface of the metal.
It is found in baking soda
Sodium is highly reactive and never exists in free state. It is always found in the combined state.
Since sodium is quite reactive it is always found in chemical combination with one or more other elements, most commonly chlorine. This is sodium chloride, the principal ingredient in common table salt.
it is found at 1
Sodium is found as a soft solid metal in nature. It is not commonly found by itself, it reacts with things so violently that it is usually found as a compound with other items. Most commonly found is sodium chloride which is just salt. NaCl
It is found as a mineral crystal.
A solid.
if sodium is in a compound, it will not be in natural state. natural state implies that it is a pure element. ie not a compound
Pure sodium isn't found anywhere naturally, it is too reactive and will always combine with something. The most common place to find sodium is in common salt, that is made up of sodium and chlorine. If you want pure sodium, you just need to separate it out from whatever it is combined with.
Sodium hydroxide is rarely found in naturally occurring salts. These salts are formed as a result of a numerous chemical reactions. As NaOH is a strong alkali, it always tends to react with an acid to form a salt of sodium.
