Question
which elements combine to form ordinary table salt? view available hint(s) nitrogen and hydrogen sodium and chlorine potassium and bromine carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen
Ordinary table salt is sodium chloride (\(NaCl\)). Sodium (\(Na\)) is a metal and chlorine (\(Cl\)) is a non - metal. They combine through an ionic bond. Nitrogen (\(N\)) and hydrogen (\(H\)) form ammonia (\(NH_3\)). Potassium (\(K\)) and bromine (\(Br\)) form potassium bromide (\(KBr\)). Carbon (\(C\)), oxygen (\(O\)), and hydrogen (\(H\)) can form many compounds like carbohydrates (\(C_xH_yO_z\)) but not table salt.
