Is the salt you put in your food made by two poisonous elements?
What is sodium chloride or table salt made of? Two very dangerous elements sodium and chlorine. Sodium reacts violently with water. Chlorine is a poisonous gas.
How can two unstable elements such as sodium and chlorine combine to make a stable compound?
Alkali metals are highly reactive because they readily lose their outermost electron. Sodium combines with water in an explosive reaction. Sodium and chlorine, two highly reactive elements, combine to form the stable compound sodium chloride (ordinary table salt).
Is salt a compound mixture or element?
Salt is another compound. Its chemical formula is NaCl, which stands for sodium chloride.

How is edible salt made?
Today, most refined salt is prepared from rock salt: mineral deposits high in edible salt. These rock salt deposits were formed by the evaporation of ancient salt lakes. These deposits may be mined conventionally or through the injection of water.
Why is the compound safe to eat but the elements aren’t?
The new compound formed is: So why is the compound safe to eat, but the elements by themselves aren’t? When these elements come in contact with water, they dissociate (another way that means disconnect from each other), and form free cations and anions. Due to this, they become less reactive and a product is made.
Is sodium chloride edible after dissolving in water?
Sodium chloride is edible. But elemental sodium and chlorine are highly reactive and poisonous. What is the difference? Also, is there any difference in eating sodium chloride in powder form and after dissolving in water?
What are the most toxic elements on the periodic table?
The Most Toxic Elements on the Periodic Table. 1 6 Deadly Elements. You might think the worst chemical elements might offer some sort of warning, like smoke or a radioactive glow. Nope! Most are 2 Polonium is One Nasty Element. 3 Mercury is Deadly and Omnipresent. 4 Arsenic is a Classic Poison. 5 Francium is Dangerously Reactive.
What is the most dangerous element in the human body?
In terms of public health risk, arsenic may well be the worst element of all. Arsenic disrupts ATP production (the molecule your cells need for energy) and causes cancer. Low doses, which may have a cumulative effect, cause nausea, bleeding, vomiting, and diarrhea.
