Sodium, which is a metal, albeit a rather soft one, and chloride, which in its solitary state is a gas. The old name for sodium was natrium, which is why the formula for table salt is NaCl.
a Salt
No, salt and water do not chemically combine to form a new compound. Salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water to form a solution, where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules through a process called hydration.
Acids and bases combine in a neutralization reaction to form a salt and water. This reaction occurs when the H+ ions from the acid react with the OH- ions from the base to form water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt.
Household salt
NO
such as when sodium and chlorine combine, they form salt which is obviously harmless
No, salt and sand do not combine to form a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (salt) dissolves into the solvent (water) to form a single phase. In the case of salt and sand, they would form a heterogeneous mixture where the components remain separate and can be easily separated by physical means such as filtration.
NaCl (table salt)
Common salt, or table salt is sodium chloride, so you would combine sodium with chlorine.
Just about every element except for the noble gasses can combine with chlorine. Commonly it is combined with sodium (to form table salt) and hydrogen (to form hydrochloric acid)
salt
There is no element called Naci. Naci is a common misspelling of NaCl, which stands for sodium chloride, or table salt. Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) combine to form sodium chloride.
