Sodium is a metal because it has one electron in its outer shell, making it highly reactive and likely to lose that electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Carbon is a nonmetal because it has four electrons in its outer shell, making it more stable by either gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to achieve a full outer shell.
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a compound made up of the metal sodium and non-metal elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sodium is the metallic element while carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are non-metallic elements.
Bicarbonate is a non-metal compound. It is an ion that consists of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, commonly found in compounds such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Copper is a metal, while carbon is a non-metal. Copper is a good conductor of electricity, whereas carbon can exist in various allotropes with different properties, such as graphite and diamond.
The metal is sodium, Na. In most compounds, the metal (if there is one) will come first, followed by the non-metal. NaCl is sodium chloride, more commonly known as table salt. It consists of one atom of sodium (a highly reactive alkali metal) and chlorine (a highly reactive non-metal halogen.)
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium.
sodium chloride (NaCl), it is the combination of a metal and a non-metal
Sodium carbonate is a compound that is not classified as a metal or nonmetal. It is made up of sodium atoms (a metal) and carbon atoms (a nonmetal) bonded together in a compound.
Because carbon disulfide is a non-polar solvent sodium chloride is not soluble.
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, is a compound made up of the metal sodium and non-metal elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Sodium is the metallic element while carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen are non-metallic elements.
sodium is a metal
No. sodium is a metal
Bicarbonate is a non-metal compound. It is an ion that consists of hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen atoms, commonly found in compounds such as baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
Carbon is a non-metal.
Sodium is a metal (an alkali metal).
Carbon is a non-metal while potassium is a metal.
Do you breathe metal? Oxygen is a gas, not metal.
Copper is a metal, while carbon is a non-metal. Copper is a good conductor of electricity, whereas carbon can exist in various allotropes with different properties, such as graphite and diamond.
