Which mineral is Na

Answer 1

yes its a mineral.

No, it is a chemical element that does not occur in pure form, only as a component in minerals. Here's a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Sodium_minerals

So strictly speaking, although it is often referred to as a mineral in dietary discussion, it is technically not a mineral.

Answer 2

Sodium is a metallic element with a symbol Na (from Latin natrium or Persian ناترون natrun; perhaps ultimately from Egyptian netjerj), and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal and is a member of the alkali metals within "group 1" (formerly known as 'group IA'). It has one stable isotope, 23Na.

Answer 3

Sodium. Na is an abbreviation of the latin Natrium. Na stands for the element Sodium rather than being a "mineral." Minerals may be combinations of elements, called compounds. The element sodium has a small. light atom and ususally combines with other elements to form compounds called "salts." A very common sodium compound is sodium chloried (NaCl) found as common table salt. But there are many other compounds (minerals) that sodium can be a part of.

Answer 4

Sodium is "natural" in that it is not synthetic, but elemental sodium does not exist naturally because it is so reactive.

Answer 5

Sodium react with water.
The reaction is: 2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2

Answer 6

Is sodium considered an electrolyte?

Answer 7

yes.

Answer 8

No.
