Does sodium have the same characteristics as soidum chloride?

No they are not. For starters, their names are different. Secondly, in one molecule of sodium chloride (NaCl), there is one atom of sodium to each chloride atom. In sodium hydroxide (NaOH), there is one sodium atom, one oxygen atom, and one hydrogen atom. Sodium chloride is known as salt, and sodium hydroxide is known as lye, or caustic soda.


Difference between sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide?

When should chemical names be capitalized?

What is the systematic name of lye?

Lye is one of those "common names" that, particularly when combined with adjectives, might mean a couple of different compounds. The canonical lye is sodium hydroxide. However, potassium hydroxide has very similar chemical properties, and I've seen terms like "wood lye" that indicate it's actually the potassium compound instead. "Caustic lye" is a new one on me; both compounds have common names that include the word caustic (caustic soda for sodium hydroxide, caustic potash for potassium hydroxide), so it might be either one. If it's in a recipe for soap or something, it doesn't really matter all that much; as stated earlier, they have very similar properties and either will work.


What is the mark on the bottle of sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid?

Both of these would be poisonous to drink, and hence could be marked with the skull and crossbones, although working chemists would just label them with their chemical names.
