No, it is a metal.
Sodium (Na) is a metal.
Na (sodium) is a metal.
For naming a binary compound composed of a metal bonded to a nonmetal, the name of the metal is written first followed by the name of the nonmetal with the ending changed to "-ide." For example, sodium chloride is the name for the compound formed by sodium (metal) bonding with chlorine (nonmetal).
One example is sodium (metal) and chlorine (nonmetal). Sodium can lose an electron to form a sodium ion (Na+), while chlorine can gain an electron to form a chloride ion (Cl-). These ions then combine to form the ionic compound sodium chloride (NaCl).
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
Sodium oxide is a compound made up of the metal sodium and the nonmetal oxygen. Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal.
Sodium chloride contains the metal sodium and the non metal chlorine.
No, sodium is a metal.
Sodium is an alkali metal.
Sodium.
Sodium hydroxide is a compound composed of sodium, a metal, and hydroxide, a polyatomic ion. Therefore, sodium hydroxide is not a metal or a nonmetal but rather an ionic compound.
Sodium is a metal (an alkali metal)
Sodium (Na) is a metal.
Na (sodium) is a metal.
Sodium carbonate is a compound that is not classified as a metal or nonmetal. It is made up of sodium atoms (a metal) and carbon atoms (a nonmetal) bonded together in a compound.
Sodium atoms will typically lose 1 electron when they react with a nonmetal to form an ionic compound. This electron loss enables sodium to achieve a stable electron configuration similar to that of a noble gas.
Sodium metal can react with the nonmetal chlorine to form sodium chloride, which is a white crystalline compound commonly known as table salt.
