Best Answer

Because sodium is a Group 1 metal and iodine is a Group 17 nonmetal, they will form an ionic bond to form the ionic compound NaI, called sodium iodide. The sodium atom will lose one electron to the iodine atom, forming a Na+ ion and an I- ion. The ions of opposite charge will form an electrostatic attraction called an ionic bond.

What is the name the ionic compound that forms when sodium and iodine pairs of elements are combined chemically?

Sodium and iodine combined together would have the name "sodium iodide". The chemical formula would be NaI.


Would you expect iodine to displace bromine form a solution of potassium bromide?

No. However, bromine would displace iodine in potassium iodide.


Does sodium propionate contain iodine?

Chlorine is not a compound, it is an element. That means that if you have a pure sample of chlorine then it will not contain iodine, or anything other than chlorine. It would be somewhat unlikely to find iodine as an impurity in chlorine, because iodine is solid at room temperature while chlorine is a gas.


How available is sodium?

Well sodium is salt so I would expect nearly everywhere


What is formed at the anode and the cathode during the electrolysis of sodium iodide?

If a solution of NaI is electrolyzed, iodine is formed at the anode and hydrogen gas at the cathode. In the instance if it is the molten liquid of NaI, it would emit sodium from the sodium at the cathode and iodine at the anode.


Which elements would you expect to have chemical behavior similar to that of sodium?

I would expect all elements in group 1 to have similar chemical behavior to that of sodium, except for hydrogen. Hydrogen is not a metal, but has only 1 valence electron like the other elements in group 1.
