Sodium is an example of an element, a substance that consists of only one type of atom (in this case, the sodium atom).
A compound is a pure substance that consists of more than one type of atom (for instance, sodium chloride, which consists of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms). Compounds can be separated into their individual elements by chemical reactions.

∙ 14y agoSodium forms a large number of compounds due to its highly reactive nature and its position on the top of the metal activity series. But you asked for three. So, they are
1. Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
2. Sodium Bicarbonate or Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (NaHCO3)
3. Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3.H2O)

What is the compounds in Na Cl?
There ARE no compounds in NaCl. A compound is comprised of 2 or more elements. NaCl is a compound itself, compromised of 2 elements, Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine).
Explain why sodium is only found in compounds in nature?
Sodium is a highly reactive element. It is unstable to exist on its own and will react whenever it is capable, which is very likely in nature.
Where in the world is sodium found?
In your house. And my house. The local movie house. And the house of the guy down the street because we all have table salt which is a sodium compound. We might have lye for our drains which is sodium hydroxide, detergent that contains sodium carbonate, or any of a thousand other useful sodium compounds. Elemental sodium is never found outside chemical companies and science labs because it forms compounds readily (so readily it's dangerous to extremes; whole movies, really suspenseful and exciting ones, have been made about retrieving lost sodium metal before it blows someone up), but sodium compounds are commonly found in nature and in our homes, workplaces and places of recreation everywhere on earth.
Is sodium naturally found?
Since sodium is quite reactive it is always found in chemical combination with one or more other elements, most commonly chlorine. This is sodium chloride, the principal ingredient in common table salt.
Is sodium chlorid inorganic or organic?
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is definitely an inorganic compound. NB Organic compounds are the chemistry of CARBON compounds. Inorganic compounds is any other compound NOT containing carbon.
Is sodium found in a compound?
Yes. Sodium is found in a variety of compounds.
What types of compounds chlorine is found in?
Chlorine can be found in either ionic compounds such as sodium chloride or in covalent compounds such as hydrochloric acid.
What compounds are found in salt?
sodium chloride
What does sodium reacts with?
Sodium is so reactive it is usually found in compounds. It reacts most violently with water, creating sodium hydroxide.
What compounds are generally only found in the solid state at room temperature?
Sodium chloride is a compound which is a solid at room temperature.
Is sodium a compound or element?
Sodium is a compound.
What group is sodium hydroxide in the periodic table?
Sodium hydroxide is a compound. Only elements are found in the periodic table, not compounds.
What compounds are found in kitchen?
Common salt, sodium chloride, NaCl; sugar, sucrose, C12H22O11; baking soda, sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3; are some of the pure compounds generally found in kitchens (for cooking) other pure compounds sometimes found in kitchens are washing soda, sodium carbonate, Na2CO3 (this scarce- its been replaced by less hazardous substances) borax, sodium borate, Na2B4O7.10H2O is used in some countries as a luandry agent.
Is sodium naturally found in the solid liquid or gas state?
Sodium is a metal and a solid under standard conditions. However it is so reactive it is naturally found in compounds like sodium chloride.
What is sodium and calcium in form ionic compounds?
Sodium and calcium form the cations Na+ and Ca(2+).
Which do you predict is more commonly found in nature-the element of sodium or sodium bound into compounds such as sodium chloride?
Sodium is highly, highly reactive, so it will always be found in nature combined with some other element. This is true for all alkali and alkali earth metals (the 2 rightmost columns on the periodic table, minus hydrogen).
Is sodium is found in nature in free state?
Sodium, being a reactive element In group 1, cannot be found as element in nature. One of its common compounds is rock salt.
