Question

Sodium is an explosive metal. Chlorine is a poisonous gas. You would expect a compound made of sodium and chlorine to be

very dangerous.

very explosive and poisonous.

very closely related to the element that makes up the majority of the compound.

unrelated to the individual properties of sodium and chlorine.

Answer 1

You can think in this way, sodium is explosive and chlorine is poisonous, as they are both very reactive, if they meet, they react vigorously. But nacl is non poisonous as Na and Cl is always together, so they will not react with other things in our body, so it will not damage our body so it is non poisonous. I am just guessing

Answer 2

As nacl is a stable compound

Answer 3

Hydrogen is very reactive gas and Oxygen is needed for burning.
When these elements form water, which is not reactive, energy
Decreases because pure elements have usually higher energy
Than compounds which elements form.
