Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The properties of sodium and chlorine are completely different from those of sodium chloride. Sodium is a soft, highly reactive metal. Chlorine is a poisonous non-metallic gas while sodium chloride is a very useful nonpoisonous compound which is added to our food to get minerals and also to add taste to it.
