Sodium is dangerous because it is an Alkali metal which is HIGHLY reactive with water.
Chlorine is dangerous because it forms a strong acid with water.
Chlorine is more dangerous than sodium because chlorine is a toxic gas that can be harmful when inhaled or ingested, whereas sodium is a highly reactive metal that can cause burns when in contact with skin or eyes.
No. At standard temperature, sodium is a highly reactive, silvery-gray metal that is soft enough to be cut with a knife. At standard temperature, chlorine is a dangerous and poisonous yellowish-green gas which exists as Cl2.
The elements found in sodium chlorate are sodium, chlorine, and oxygen.
Sodium chloride is composed of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Sodium has a valency of +1, while chlorine has a valency of -1. In sodium chloride, sodium donates its electron to chlorine, forming an ionic bond with a valency of +1 for sodium and -1 for chlorine.
The chemical formula for sodium is Na and for chlorine is Cl. When combined, sodium and chlorine form the compound sodium chloride, with the chemical formula NaCl.
how is this possible when pure sodium and chlorine are so dangerous
Pure sodium and pure chlorine are dangerous because they are highly reactive elements. Sodium reacts violently with water to produce flammable hydrogen gas. Chlorine is a toxic gas that can cause severe respiratory irritation and damage to the lungs when inhaled. When combined, sodium and chlorine react explosively to form sodium chloride, or table salt.
Chlorine is more dangerous than sodium because chlorine is a toxic gas that can be harmful when inhaled or ingested, whereas sodium is a highly reactive metal that can cause burns when in contact with skin or eyes.
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct
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.
why are sodium and chlorine harmful
Sodium chlorine sodium and chlorine.
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are the elements that make up NaCl otherwise known as Sodium Chloride.
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl. Chlorine as a gas (Cl2) is dangerous.
No. At standard temperature, sodium is a highly reactive, silvery-gray metal that is soft enough to be cut with a knife. At standard temperature, chlorine is a dangerous and poisonous yellowish-green gas which exists as Cl2.
Chlorine and sodium are natural chemical elements.
