The half-life of diclofenac sodium is approximately 1.2 to 2 hours. It typically takes around 5.5 half-lives for a medication to be cleared from the body, so diclofenac sodium is eliminated within 11 to 22 hours after the last dose.


Is sodium chlorine a compound mixture or element?

Sodium chloride is a compound because it is made up of two different elements, sodium and chlorine, chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio. Each sodium atom is bonded to one chlorine atom to form the compound sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt.

named after soda (Na2CO3) ----


How does a sodium atom form a bond with a chlorine atom?

sodium has 11electrons and chloride 17 .Sodium has 2 unstable electrons that be lost to make it stable.When chloride has 7 unstable electrons and needs only 1 electrons to be come stable. When sodium and chloride react,sodium loses its electron and it is gained by chloride there by forming a compound sodium chloride NaCl


How discover sodium metal?

Sodium metal is typically discovered through the process of electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (table salt) in a laboratory setting. This method involves passing an electric current through the molten salt, causing the sodium ions to move towards the negative electrode where they are reduced to form pure sodium metal. Sodium metal is highly reactive and must be handled with care due to its tendency to react vigorously with water and air.
