It is so small that when sodium is exposed to the sun light, the energy of sun light is enough to cause the ionization of sodium metal. Hence it is called a photo-sensitive metal.
The bond formed between sodium and chloride, where the electron is transferred from sodium to chloride, is called an ionic bond. This bond is formed between a metal (sodium) and a non-metal (chloride) through the transfer of electrons.
Sodium chloride contains the metal sodium and the non metal chlorine.
Sodium hydroxide, or NaOH, is neither a metal or a non-metal. It is an ionic compound.It is composed of sodium, which is a metal, and oxygen and hydrogen which are non-metals.See the Related Questions to the left for more information.
No, sodium and nitrogen do not form a molecular compound together. Sodium is a metal and nitrogen is a nonmetal, so they typically form an ionic compound called sodium nitride (Na3N).
Sodium is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal that belongs to the alkali metal group in the periodic table.

photosensitive alloy containing silicon
The metal is sodium, Na. In most compounds, the metal (if there is one) will come first, followed by the non-metal. NaCl is sodium chloride, more commonly known as table salt. It consists of one atom of sodium (a highly reactive alkali metal) and chlorine (a highly reactive non-metal halogen.)
Group ONE - this group is called the Alkali metal group
The first screened photosensitive metal plate was the heliograph, invented by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1826. This process used bitumen of Judea on a metal plate that hardened when exposed to light, creating the first permanent photograph.
Silver chloride, bromide or iodide (photosensitive compounds)
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl.
sodium is a metal
Yes. Sodium is a metal.
No. sodium is a metal
Sodium is a metal (an alkali metal).
if the element donates electrons then it is called a metal. eg. sodium, iron,etc.
