No, it is a soft grayish silver metal. It's density is less than that of water.
Pure sodium is a highly reactive metal that is not typically sold in its pure form due to its extreme reactivity with moisture and air. It is usually sold in compounds like sodium chloride (table salt) or sodium hydroxide. Handling pure sodium requires special precautions and expertise to prevent accidents.
It is a pure substance as well as a compound
Yes. Sodium benzoate is a compound and thus a pure substance.
Yes, sodium fluoride is considered a pure substance because it is a compound composed of fixed ratios of sodium and fluoride ions arranged in a regular, repeating pattern. This compound has a distinct chemical composition and structure, making it a pure substance.
No, sodium hydroxide is a pure compound, not a mixture. It is a strong base made up of sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-).

Pure.
It is a pure substance as well as a compound
Sodium (Na) is a pure substance, listed on the Periodic Table. Table salt however, is Sodium Chloride (NaCl), which is not a pure substance
how is this possible when pure sodium and chlorine are so dangerous
Sodium is an ELEMENT, a pure substance. As a pure substance there is nothing else with it.
Sodium chloride is a compound, not a mixture; after refining NaCl become very pure.
Sodium is an element (Na)
First of all, it does not have PURE sodium and PURE chlorine. They have been chemically changed to make a different substance all together, which is PURE Sodium Chloride. And the end result of a chemical reaction may be completely unrelated with the elements used to make it. Take water for example, it's made from Hydrogen and Oxygen, both very flammable gases, but if you combine them, it forms water, which is hard to burn (not impossible).
Sodium is a pure substance because it is an element and can not be broken down into anything else
