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).

There are two chloride salts of mercury
Hg2Cl2, is mercuric chloride
HgCl2 is mercuric chloride
They are both poisonous the mercuric chloride being the more poisonous of the
two.
Mercury is also know as quick silver and is the only metal that is liquid at room temperature. Mercury has long been used in thermometers. They have been replaced by electronic digital thermometers. One should handle mercury thermometer with care. Caution should be used in attempting to "collect the mercury from a broken thermometer. Although odorless, fumes from mercury are poisons. Mercury is classified as a "heavy metal" that is of concern to environmentalists.

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.
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 table salt a covalant bond?
No. Table salt (or any salt for that matter) is an ionic compound.
Definition of alkali metal?
The term, alkaline metal, means any of the Group I metals:lithium,sodium,potassium,rubidium,cesium,francium.
What product is formed when alkali metals are heated with oxygen?
Improve Alkali Metal + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Hydrogen Alkali Metal Oxide + Water ------> Alkali Hydroxide + Water
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.
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.
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.
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 element forms an ionic salt?
The answer would be Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
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 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).
What two elements make ionic bonds?
Any metal (left side of periodic table) and nonmetal (right side of periodic table) that bond will form an ionic bond. for example, if a halogen (Flourine, Chlorine, etc...) bonds with an alkali metal (Lithium, potassium, etc...) will form an ionic bond.
Does Epsom salt contain nitrogen?
In Chemistry, a salt is any compound composed of a metal and a non-metal. What people commonly refer to as "salt" or table salt is Sodium chloride (a metal, sodium, and a non-metal chloride). There are thousands of salts out there, in addition to table salt. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate.
Definition of alkali metal?
The term, alkaline metal, means any of the Group I metals:lithium,sodium,potassium,rubidium,cesium,francium.
Is table salt a covalant bond?
No. Table salt (or any salt for that matter) is an ionic compound.
