Table salt is sodium chloride; sodium is a metalic element and chlorine is a non-metallic element.


Table salt is sodium (an explosive metal) combined with chlorine (a poisonous gas).

Sodium is Na; Chlorine is Cl. So table salt is NaCl.
This element is sodium (Na).
This element is sodium (Na).

What happens when any of the alkali metals react to chlorine?

You would get an chemical form of salt or you can say alkali metal salt.


How do you separate salt from?

It is impossible to separate a substance from itself. However, it is possible to isolate its respective elements. Technically, a "salt" is any base that combines with an acid, or an alkali/alkaline earth metal that combines with a halogen (For example: Table Salt: NaCl; Sodium Chloride, Alkali metal + Halogen.). However, it is usually possible to separate compounds with electrolysis.


Is metal oxide an alkali?

Metal oxide is the ionic bond combination of any metal element of the periodic table of elements with oxygen. The alkali metals and alkali earth metals are respectively the first and second columns of elements found on the periodic table. Thus, alkali metal oxides and earth metal oxides are types of metal oxides, but metal oxide does not imply alkali.


What are some compounds that contain an alkali metal?

An alkali is a basic, ionic salt of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal element. Alkalis are best known for being bases (compounds with pH greater than 7) that dissolve in water. chemical compound is a substance consisting of two or more elements chemically bonded together in a fixed proportion by mass


Is phosphor an alkali earth metal?

No, phosphor is not an alkali earth metal. Phosphorus is a nonmetallic element that is found in the nitrogen group of the periodic table. Alkali earth metals are elements like magnesium, calcium, and strontium which are in a separate group from phosphorus.


Is table salt a covalant bond?

Table salt, or sodium chloride, forms an ionic bond. Ionic bonds are formed between a metal (sodium in this case) and a non-metal (chlorine in this case), resulting in the transfer of electrons. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms.


When oxygen combines with any alkali metal M the formula of the compound produced usually is?

The compound produced when oxygen combines with an alkali metal is typically the alkali metal oxide, which has the formula MO.


Is salt a metal or nonmetal?

Table salt is made of a chlorine ion and a sodium ion. Sodium is a metal, and chlorine is a nonmetal. Salt on its own is neither; it is an ionic compound. Table salt is a salt. We use the term salt to mean table salt very often, but in chemistry, we have to refine our use of the term to include some other ideas. A salt is what results from the combination of an acid and a base. (Water is also produced.) Table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), is one of many salts. Just for starters, any Group 1 or Group 2 metal combined with any halogen (the Group 17 nonmetals) forms a salt. And there are more. Remember to consider in what application you're using the term "salt" so you can plug into the right set of ideas. If we're talking about salt in the kitchen or on a cooking show, that's sodium chloride or table salt. In the chemistry lab, we've just used a general term that we have yet to make more specific.


What element forms an ionic salt?

An ionic salt is typically formed from the reaction between a metal and a nonmetal element. When a metal atom donates its electrons to a nonmetal atom, they form positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other, resulting in the formation of an ionic salt.


What is each period of the table begins on the left with a?

All periods begin with an alkali metal, excepting the first which begin with hydrogen..


What is the chemical formula for salts?

A salt refers to any ionic compound excluding oxides. Sodium chloride is a salt because it contains a metal and non-metal (sodium and chlorine), which creates an ionic bond. So generally, you can say that any compound of a metal and non-metal is a salt (without oxides).


How many hydrogens are in salt?

Common table salt is sodium chloride; it does not contain any hydrogen. Most of the compounds called "salts" are a metal plus a halogen. They also do not contain any hydrogen.
