Alkali metals and very reactive. Sodium metal is soft at room temperature, melting point
97.794 ̊C.
» Common Sodium compounds:
• Sodium Chloride (Salt), NaCl
• Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH
• Sodium Oxide, Na2O
• Sodium Carbonate, Na2CO3
• Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Soda), NaHCO3
• Sodium Sulfate, Na2SO4
• Sodium Phosphate, Na3PO4
• Sodium Acetate, NaCH3COO
» Sodium reactions:
• 2Na + H2O = 2NaOH + 2H2↑
• 4Na + O2 = 2Na2O
Example Reactions:
• Li + NaCl = LiCl + Na
• LiNO3 + Na = Li + NaNO3
• Na + CuCl = NaCl + Cu
• K + NaCl = KCl + Na
• Na + At = NaAt
• Li + NaOH = LiOH + Na
• Cu + NaNO3 = Na + CuNO3
• N2O5 + Na = NaNO3 + NO2
