What characteristics does pure sodium have?

Pure sodium is a metal. It bonds fairly easily with halogens (such as chlorine, to make table salt), and it reacts quite violently when put in contact with water (explodes).

Sodium is actually just another word for "salt", so, yes. actually sodium in a element that is highly volatile. It will catch fire and explode when exposed to air.

You are correct that salt has sodium in it, however it is bonded with the poisonous element Chlorine. to make sodium chloride or NACL.

Has salt got metal in it?

Yes. Table salt is made up of equal parts of Sodium (a metal) and chlorine ( a gas). When these two elements bond together they form salt, which is completely different from the original ingredients. Sodium and chlorine gas are both very dangerous in pure form, but the chemical bonds between them are so strong that they are completely safe in salt form (except for the risk of high blood pressure).
