Question

Help Please.


Does anyone know something about sodium ? I'm doing a 3 paragraph essay about sodium. I researched and found alot, but I still need a bit more. I'm not looking for an essay to copy and paste, all i need is just few simple or outstanding facts about this element.

Answer 1

You can talk about how it was discovered, http://www.webelements.com/sodium/history.html

just go on wikipedia and use the sources to find out more information about it, you can talk about its various isotopes as well etc.

Answer 2

1)Na is highly reactive and therefore it is kept under kerosene.. nd it is not kept under water because it spontaneously ignites in water..
2)Na metal is soo soft at room temperature that it can even be cut through a knief ..
3)there is only 1 stable isotope of Na nd that is 23^Na..
4)Na is very abundent. it is found on sun and many other stars.. and it is the 6th most abundent element found on earth..!!
5) Na is the most abundent alkalie metal..!!
that is all what i knew..!!
I hope this answer satisfies u.!!
