Mainly because it is sodium chloride and salt is much easier to say.

Which element is more likely to react with sodium?

Chlorine is more likely to react with sodium. This reaction forms sodium chloride, a common salt.


How do you draw the Lewis dot diagram for sodium chloride?

To draw the Lewis dot diagram for sodium chloride (NaCl), first determine the total number of valence electrons: 1 from sodium and 7 from chlorine. Sodium will donate its electron to chlorine, forming a single bond. Sodium will have no dots around it, while chlorine will have seven. The overall structure will show the transfer of one electron from sodium to chlorine, forming an ionic bond.

Does sodium propionate contain iodine?

Chlorine is not a compound, it is an element. That means that if you have a pure sample of chlorine then it will not contain iodine, or anything other than chlorine. It would be somewhat unlikely to find iodine as an impurity in chlorine, because iodine is solid at room temperature while chlorine is a gas.


How you would break down sodium chloride into its constituent elements?

Sodium chloride (table salt) can be broken down into its constituent elements sodium and chlorine through a process called electrolysis. When an electric current is passed through molten sodium chloride, the sodium ions (Na+) are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) and gain electrons to form sodium metal, while the chloride ions (Cl-) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and lose electrons to form chlorine gas.

Where is sodium found inside of living thing?

Sodium is found in table salt, battries and streetlights. Although these are not living things, i dont think sodium is found in living things. Although it may be in plants!

Why dont you find sodium metal occurring naturally?

Sodium is a highly reactive metal that readily forms compounds with other elements in nature, such as sodium chloride (table salt) and sodium carbonate (soda ash). These compounds are more stable than pure sodium metal, which is why sodium is not found in its elemental form in nature.


Why the sodium chloride is named as NACL?

In the case of NaCl.the valency of sodium and chloride is two.so you dont have to specify it.but where as in Icl the valency different so you call it as iodine monochloride.to denote the presence of single chloride atom. Sodium chloride is an ionic compound, so you don't write 'mono' 'di' 'tri' etc. in the name. MgCl2 would simply be magnesium chloride, not magnesium dichloride. Covalent compounds such as ICl sometimes have 'mono' 'di' or 'tri' in their name, but ionic compounds don't. == == == == == ==
