What else can I help you with?
Is sodium a metal or nometal?
Sodium is a metal. It is a soft, silvery-white metal that is highly reactive and found in Group 1 of the periodic table.
Can you buy sodium gas?
No. Sodium is unlikely to be found as a gas. It is a metal.
What metal is found in rock?
sodium combined with chlorine.
Is sodium a nonmetal or a metal?
Sodium is a metal.
Is sodium salt or metal?
Sodium as an element is metal but as compounds with chlorine,florine,iodine etc they become salt compounds.
How would you extract sodium?
Sodium is not generally "extracted from its ore" to be recovered and used. Most of the sodium we consume is used in the form of sodium compounds, like table salt (NaCl, or sodium chloride). Recovering the pure metal takes some doing as it is highly reactive. Sodium metal reacts with the moisture in air, and must be stored below something like kerosene to keep it isolated and in its elemental form. To extract sodium metal, we generally use electrolysis on molten salt (sodium chloride) in what is called a Downs cell. The metal is recovered, cooled and "packaged" to keep it from reacting with anything prior to use. A link can be found below to check facts and learn more.
Is sodium a transition metal?
Sodium is an alkali metal, group 1 in the periodic table of Mendeleev (not a transition metal !).NO!
What metalic element is found in table salt?
Table salt is sodium chloride, NaCl; the metal is sodium (Na).
What the silvery white metal used to make salt?
The silver-white metal used to make salt is sodium. Sodium is a highly reactive metal that is commonly found in salt compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt).
Is sodium a transition element?
Sodium is an Alkali metal. Elements in the center of the periodic table are transition metals.
Is sodium reative?
Because of its high reactivity is not found naturally in its elemental state; Sodium metal tarnished readily in air due to the formation of a layer of Sodium Oxide on the surface of the metal.
What is the meaning of sodium metal?
Sodium metal refers to atomic conditions. Being highly reactive, it can be found only as irons in salts. Sea water is a rich source of sodium ions.
