This is a familiar compound usually known as table salt. It is soluble in water. It is part of human bio-chemistry and is a necessary part of our diet. But too much in the diet can lead to high blood pressure. Technically it is an ionic compound, which dissociates into the sodium ion and the chloride ion when dissolved in water. It is a white crystalline material when not dissolved, when dissolved it is colorless.

It can be used to melt ice and is more commanly known as table salt.
Sodium and Chlorine when those two are put together you get Sodium Chloride

Sodium chloride is it an entirely different substance with its own unique properties.
Sodium chloride is a colorless, crystalline salt which is highly soluble in water.
The properties of chlorine are highly different from sodium chloride one of the differences is the boiling point. Chlorine has a melting point of 171.6 K whereas sodium chloride has a melting point of 1074 K.
Sodium chloride is a chemical compound (NaCl), not a property.
Sodium chlroride contains phospnhorous
sodium chloride as a compound has different physical and chemical properties than sodium and chloride not mixed together
Sodium chloride is NaCl, calcium chloride is CaCl2. Consequently all the physical and chemical properties are different.
Sodium Chloride is table salt. It is not particularly dangerous and quite stable.
Sodium chloride contains sodium ions, not metallic sodium. Hence they show different chemical properties and behaviour.
The thermal conductivity of sodium chloride is 6,5 W/m.K at 25 0K.Electrically sodium chloride is an insulator.
