Sodium (Na; from Latin for Nadium)

Sodium metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form the oxide

4Na + O2 = 2Na2O

Sodium reacts with water to form the hydroxide,(lye) with the liberation of hydrogen .

2Na + 2H2O = 2NaOH + H2

Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride (Table Salt)

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl (Table salt).

What is an element that is highly reactive gaseous nonmetal?

Chlorine and fluorine, with fluorine more reactive. Some would also include oxygen. (The two remaining halogens are not gaseous at room temperature.)


Why do you not find pure samples of highly reactive element in the ground?

Highly reactive elements easily react with other substances in the environment, forming compounds rather than existing in their pure form. This is why it is rare to find pure samples of highly reactive elements in the ground.

What is more reactive silicon or chlorine?

Chlorine is more reactive than silicon. Chlorine readily reacts with a variety of elements and compounds to form chlorides, while silicon is less reactive and forms fewer compounds with other elements.

Is chlorine reactive or unreactive?

Chlorine is a highly reactive element. It readily reacts with other elements to form compounds, such as sodium chloride (table salt) or hydrochloric acid.


What are the compounds of fluorine?

Fluorine forms a very large range of compounds since it is highly reactive (actually it is the most reactive element there is). Teflon and freon are both synthetic fluorine compounds. Fluorine salts such as potassium fluoride are used in toothpaste, or to fluoridate water.
