Why does solid sodium conduct electricity but solid sodium chloride does not?

Because sodium and sodium chloride are two different things. Even though sodium is in sodium chloride when you mix two elements you create a new compound.


What elements combin to make salt?

Sodium and chlorine combine to make the most common salt, sodium chloride. It should be noted though, that many different elements can combine to make many different salts.


What makes a substance a salt?

salt is mde of sodium and chloride Table salt is NaCl, which is sodium chloride. There are many other types of salt though.


What is the balanced equation to make sodium chloride?

I'm pretty sure it is just NaAt as you have one Na and one At, so yeah, just NaAt. I could be wrong though.


Why will you not become sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chloride is poisonous?

Chlorine gas is highly toxic, but in table salt it has been rendered into the chloride ion, which is much less reactive.


Is salt in the column of oxygen in the periodic table of elements?

First off, there is no "salt" on the periodic table of the elements. Salt is a compound. However, you may be talking about "sodium". If that's the case, sodium is NOT in the same column as oxygen in the periodic table. Sodium is in the first column while oxygen is in the sixteenth column.


What is the chemical name of rock salt?

Table salt is sodium chloride, or NaCl. It might also be called halite (which is the name of sodium chloride crystals considered as a mineral), though that's more the geological name for salt).


Is a pile of salt an element compound or mixture?

If you have a pile of pure sodium chloride, it would be a compound. A lot of the salt used as table salt, though, is not pure sodium chloride and would be a mixture of several compounds. This is particularly true if you have a pile of sea salt.


Why will you not get sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chlorine is poisonous?

Sodium chloride, or table salt, is composed of sodium and chloride ions. These ions are essential for bodily functions and are not toxic in the small amounts found in salt. The toxic nature of chlorine gas does not apply to the chloride ion in sodium chloride when consumed in normal dietary amounts.


Why you not become sick if you eat sodium chloride even though chloride is poisonous answer?

Sodium chloride, or table salt, is made up of sodium and chloride ions. In small amounts, consuming chloride along with sodium is safe, as our bodies need these ions for various functions. The toxicity of chloride is more relevant when consumed in excessive amounts.


How many molecules of NaCl are in the 1 M NaCl solution?

It depends on how much solution you have!"1 molar solution" means that 1 litre of the solution contains 1 mole of solute (in this case, Na+ and Cl- ions). Therefore, 1 litre of 1M NaCl will contain 1 mole of sodium chloride. 1 mole is avagadro's number (6.02x1023) of a substance. If you have two litres of solution, obviously, you will have twice this number, for example.Note, though, that there are NO molecules of sodium chloride - sodium chloride is not a molecular substance.


What does Sodium chloride contain?

I think sodium,salt,chloride and that's it i think but double check though don't listen to the guy before me its sodium and chlorine. salt is what the compound reaction produces and chloride is the compound term for chlorine. I REPEAT THE ANSWER IS SODIUM AND CHLORINE
