Are sodium and potassium sonorous?
No, sodium is not sonorous.
Why sodium and potassium will or will not react to form a bond with each other?
Potassium has a chloride mixture which makes it so sodium interacts easily with it to form the bond
What is the effect of decreasing the number of sodium potassium pumps?
When number of sodium-potassium pump decreased, transport of Na takes little more time. Less number of sodium-potassium more time for transport
