In short, no, sodium is technically classified as an alkali metal. Chlorine is a non-metal, however, so it is made of at least one non-metal.

What is the reaction of metal with non-metal?

When a metal reacts with a non-metal, they tend to form ionic compounds through a transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal. This transfer leads to the formation of positive metal ions and negative non-metal ions, which then combine to form a stable compound._examples of this include sodium chloride (table salt) formed from sodium metal and chlorine non-metal.


Is MgF2 acidic?

No, magnesium fluoride (MgF2) is not acidic. It is a basic salt because it is composed of a metal (Mg) and a non-metal (F) and does not release H+ ions in solution.


Table salt is made with what non metal?

This element is chlorine (Cl).


What is metal and nonmetal extraction?

A method for separation and recovery of metals and metal oxides from industrial minerals and waste materials Extraction from the metal ore involves reduction of the metal, and electrons can reduce any metal ion. metal ions + electrons metal atoms (reduction). non-metal ions - electrons non-metal atoms (oxidation). The electrodes are often made from graphite. The liquid which conducts electricity is called the electrolyte. The amount of electricity needed to produce a particular mass of metal (or non-metal) can be calculated. The negative electrode, called the cathode, will attract positively charged metal ions. The metal ions collect electrons from the cathode and are discharged as metal atoms. The positive electrode, called the anode, will attract negatively charged non-metal ions. The non-metal ions lose electrons to the anode and are discharged as non-metal atoms.

Is sodium acetate solution a metal?

No. Sodium acetate solution is a homogeneous mixture, which is a solution. Sodium acetate is an ionic compound formed from sodium ions and acetate ions. Sodium in sodium acetate no longer has the properties of sodium metal.


What is the reaction of a non metal and a metal from opposite sides of the periodic table?

Non-metals and metals from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to undergo ionic bonding. The non-metal typically gains electrons to form negatively charged ions (anions), while the metal loses electrons to form positively charged ions (cations). These oppositely charged ions attract each other and form an ionic compound.


Is calcium sulfide an acid base or salt?

Calcium sulfide is a salt. It is formed by the reaction between calcium, which is a metal, and sulfur, a non-metal. It does not exhibit acidic or basic properties because it does not release H+ or OH- ions in water.


When sodium and chlorine are mixed together to make salt was a compound made?

Yes, when sodium and chlorine are mixed together, they react to form sodium chloride (NaCl), which is a compound. This process involves the transfer of an electron from sodium, a metal, to chlorine, a non-metal, resulting in the formation of positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions. These ions then bond together through ionic bonding, creating the compound known as table salt.
