On this page I'll provide comprehensive data for Sodium. I hope you profit from it.
Sodium Overview
Name Origin
Medieval Latin: sodanum, (headache remedy); symbol from Latin natrium, (sodium carbonate).
Symbol
Na (Sodium)Description
Soft silvery-white metal. Sixth most abundant element in the earth's crust. Burns in air with a brilliant white flame.
Discovery
Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1807
Location: England
Sources
Obtained by electrolysis of melted sodium chloride (salt), borax and cryolite.
Uses
There are few uses for the pure metal, however its compounds are used in medicine, agriculture and photography. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Liquid sodium is sometimes used to cool nuclear reactors.
