How is it possible that you can eat sodium and chlorine in a compound together when they are dangerous elements apart?
It is possible because sodium and chlorine put together is a harmless compound. If you were to put chlorine and bleach together, that would be a different story.
Do you have to heat the sodium and chlorine mixture to get salt?
If you place elemental sodium and elemental chlorine together, yes you will have to add significant amounts of heat to catalyzed the reaction. This would also be extremely dangerous as elemental sodium is extremely reactive with water and elemental chlorine is toxic.
What is more dangerous sodium or chlorine?
