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

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

sodium and chlorine
