Sodium element is a metal. Atom contains 11 protons.
50.9415 neutrons. Just look at the periodic table it's the small print, many numbers number at the bottom of each little box, under the name of the element.
pure sodium reacts to just about everything... it even explodes when placed in water
A chemical compound called ethyl mercaptan is added to LPG to give it a distinct smell, also known as odorant. This odorant is added as a safety measure so that leaks can be easily detected by people through the characteristic smell.
I take it you mean Sodium? Pure sodium - symbol Na - is a soft, silvery white, highly reactive member of the alkali metals group of the periodic table. So it IS a metal.
Yes, a sodium atom can exist as an isolated atom in certain environments. Sodium is a highly reactive metal, so it tends to form compounds with other elements rather than exist as a single atom.
Sodium acetate is used in DNA extraction to precipitate out proteins and other contaminants. By adding sodium acetate to the DNA sample, it creates a high-salt environment which helps DNA molecules come out of solution and form a visible pellet, making it easier to separate from the rest of the sample. This purification step ensures a higher yield and purity of extracted DNA.
there won't be any botanical name for common salt as it is related to chemistry, and it would only have a chemical name-sodium chloride
It's not common. A study last month reported that of 27,713 people who had side effects with Depakote, 19 of them reported electrolyte imbalance. That's 1/14 of one percent the people who reported a side effect, which is fewer than the total people taking Depakote. Electrolyte imbalance is normally an excess of sodium. The kidneys excrete sodium and potassium in a fixed ratio, so excess potassium results in low sodium, and excess sodium results in low potassium. Table salt contributes sodium, which is why so many people have high sodium levels. Electrolyte imbalance is nothing to mess with; it can cause cardiac arrest. Fortunately, it responds quickly to the food you consume. If you are short of potassium, a glass of juice eliminates that washed-out feeling and fatigue in a few minutes. If you are short on sodium, licking a little bit of table salt should work nicely.
Yes, a gem can be considered a crystal. Gems are typically minerals that have been cut and polished for use in jewelry or other ornamental purposes. Many gems are crystalline in structure, meaning their atoms are arranged in a regular, repeating pattern.
