What 2 elements makes-- up common salt?
Sodium and chlorine are the components of salt, the kind we use for seasoning, NaCl.
What does NaCl ean on the periodic table?
The periodic table table has elements arranged in increasing order of the atomic number. NaCl is a salt derived from sodium and chloride ions. Neither ions nor compounds are listed in periodic table. The elements involved in producing the salt are sodium (period 3 group 1) and chlorine (period 3 group 17).NaCl is made up of two elements: sodium and chlorine. Sodium is present in group-1. Chlorine is present in group-17.
What is the percent composition of chlorine in salt?
By atoms it is 50% sodium and 50% chlorine. By mass (sodium is 23.0, chlorine is 35.5, salt is 58.5) is 39.3% sodium and 60.7% chlorine.
How many elements are in the third period?
Eight. Sodium, Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorous, Sulfur, Chlorine, Argon
Sodium an alkali metal and chlorine a halogen are both in Period 3 of the periodic table Which element has a higher ionization energy?
Chlorine has a higher ionization energy. Chlorine's tendency is to gain electrons, not lose them as metals usually do.
What is the state of matter of sodium and chlorine at room temperature?
At room temperature sodium is a solid and chlorine is a gas.
What is the physical state of sodium chlorine at room temperature?
Crystalline solid. the combination of sodium and chlorine is sodium chloride, also known as table salt.
Is chlorine more electronegative than sodium?
Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium. The farther right you move on the periodic table, the more electronegative elements are. Thus, noting that sodium and chlorine are on the same period, and chlorine is farther to the right than sodium, we know that chlorine is more electronegative than sodium
Where is sodium and chlorine on the periodic table?
Sodium is atom number 11, 3rd period, 1st group, Chlorine is atom number 17, 3rd period, 17th (or 7th) group.
What is one way sodium and chlorine are different?
A chemical difference is that sodium reacts with water to make an alkali, and chlorine plus water give acids. A physical difference is that sodium is a solid at room temperature and chlorine is a gas.
Which element is in the same period as sodium?
Sodium is in 3rd period and seven other elements are in same period they are Magnesium, Aluminium, Silicon, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chlorine and Argon.
Are sodium and chlorine similar?
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.
Is sodium and chlorine close together on the pereodic table?
Sodium is at the extreme left and chlorine is in the next-to-rightmost cell of period 3. Most would not consider that close.
Which element is in the same period as Sodium and in the same group as Iodine?
chlorine (Cl)
What is a word equation for sodium and chlorine?
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct
Why cl gas and NaCl solid?
Chlorine is an atom. Sodium is a metal, a solid. When Na (sodium) and Cl (Chlorine) react, electrons are exchanged, and the properties of the compound NaCl are different from both sodium and Chlorine. And Chlorine gas is just a state of matter, if in a low enough temperature, it will freeze, becoming a solid. Like
What 2 elements makes-- up common salt?
Sodium and chlorine are the components of salt, the kind we use for seasoning, NaCl.
