Is Sodium metal a ductile metal?
Yes. Sodium is a ductile metal.
What is type of metal is sodium?
Its an alkali metal.
Predict the most likely products formed from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?
Na2CO3 + Ca
Is lithium a heavy metal?
Yes, along with Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium, Lithium is an alkali metal.
Is sodium a property of metal?
Sodium is not a property of anything. It is a metal with its own properties.
Is sodium a light metal or heavy metal?
light
Is sodium a anion are a cation?
Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.
How many electrons does the element Sodium have?
As the elemental metal sodium has 11 (eleven) electrons; the same number as the protons, and the atomic no.(Z). However, sodium will readily lose one(1) electron to form the sodium cation (Na^(+)) . When it is the sodium cation it has 11 protons, but only 10 electrons.
How do you name the salt?
Sodium chloride Example: table salt, NaCl The chemical name is sodium chloride. And as a rule (in the English language !): the of the metal (cation) + the name of the anion.
I am Heavy rare and expensive?
I am sodium because I am a metal and metals are heavy and i am also very expensive.
What two forms an ionic bond?
Generally the ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (cation and anion). As an example, sodium and bromine: sodium bromide, NaBr.
How are the salts named?
Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride
Which of the elements is most likely ductile at room temperature sulfur or sodium?
sodium. it is a metal.
What two atoms form an ionic bond?
Generally the ionic bond is formed between a metal and a nonmetal (cation and anion). As an example, sodium and bromine: sodium bromide, NaBr.
How are salts named?
They are named from the acids: sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, sodium oxalate, sodium fluoride etc.
Why is sodium hydroxide or ammonia a suitable reagent for cation testing?
Sodium hydroxide solution often produces a precipitate when mixed with a solution containing a metal cation. The colour of this solid is indicative of which cation you have, for instance copper hydroxide is light blue and iron(II) hydroxide is green. Ammonium hydroxide can also produce these precipitates, but the reactions are sometimes more complex.
Is sodium and sulfur likely to form covalent bonds?
no, sodium is a metal and metals don't form covalent bonds
