You cannot eat a gas, though you can inhale a gas. Sodium boils at over 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, so if you came in contact with sodium gas the heat would kill you quickly.

Sodium is a solid metal at room temperature. If you tried to eat a piece of sodium it would react violently with the moisture inside your mouth, possibly catching on fire. The reaction would produce sodium hydroxide, a highly caustic substance that would cause serious chemical burns to your mouth, throat, and stomach.

Why wouldn't you become sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chlorine is poisonous?

Because the chloride- ion in sodium chloride is not chlorine and does not have its chemical properties. In fact chloride- ions are necessary for proper functioning of your body.However, if you ate a very large amount of sodium chloride it would make you sick. It would upset the electrolyte balance in your intestines causing diarrhea. This used to be used in the preparation for colonoscopies (you spent the entire night on the toilet!) But this is due equally to the sodium+ and chloride- ions, not just the chloride- ion.

Why you not become sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chloride is poisonous answer?

Sodium chloride, or table salt, is made up of sodium and chloride ions. In small amounts, consuming chloride along with sodium is safe, as our bodies need these ions for various functions. The toxicity of chloride is more relevant when consumed in excessive amounts.
