Think about all the things that have salt. The ocean, our bodies (none the less we cant live without salt so we would all die) things like that. All the sea animals would die because they live in a salty environment.

What would happen if plants disappeared from Earth?

If plants disappeared from Earth, the entire ecosystem would collapse. Plants are primary producers, providing energy and nutrients to all other living organisms. Without plants, herbivores would have no food, leading to a cascading effect on the entire food chain. Additionally, the atmosphere would be affected as plants play a crucial role in producing oxygen and regulating carbon dioxide levels.


What would happen during a tug of war between sodium and chlorine over each others outer electrons?

Sodium would lose one electron and chlorine would gain one electron. End of contest. Sodim is oxidised, chlorine is reduced.


What would you expect to happen if sodium methoxide were added to water?

When sodium methoxide is added to water, it will undergo hydrolysis, producing sodium hydroxide and methanol. This reaction releases heat and sodium hydroxide is a strong base that can cause skin and eye irritation. Extreme care should be taken when handling sodium methoxide as it is highly reactive.


Describe what would happen if a positively charged sodium atom and a negatively charged chlorine atom came into contact?

The positively charged sodium atom would be attracted to the negatively charged chlorine atom, forming an ionic bond. This bond would result in the transfer of an electron from the sodium atom to the chlorine atom, forming a sodium ion and a chloride ion. These ions would then attract each other due to their opposite charges, forming a stable ionic compound known as sodium chloride or table salt.


What would happen if sodium atom and neon atom were put near each other?

The sodium atom would likely donate an electron to the neon atom, forming Na+ and Ne- ions due to their differing electronegativities. This would result in the formation of an ionic bond between the two atoms, leading to the creation of sodium chloride (table salt).
