How hydrogen bonds allow water to act as a solvent to dissolve sodium chloride?
since hydrogen is positively charged it attracts the negatively charged chlorine in sodium chloride
When one molecule of sodium combines with one molecule of chlorine what is formed?
Sodium ions and chlorine ions form sodium chloridemolecules; this forms salt crystals; table salt to be more precise!Equations:Sodium + Chlorine --> Sodium Chloride2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaClIonic equation: Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl
How many atoms are there in compound NaOH?
Sodium (Na), oxygen (O) and hydrogen (H).
What is the gas produced when sodium reacts with water?
Sodium metal is very reactive and would explode when in contact with water and produce hydrogen gas.
