Question

Which statement describes a chemical property

of sodium?
(1) Sodium has a melting point of 371 K.
(2) Sodium has a molar mass of 23 grams.
(3) Sodium can conduct electricity in the liquid
phase.
(4) Sodium can combine with chlorine to produce
a salt.

Answer 1

(4) Sodium can combine with chlorine to produce a salt is the correct answer. The other three are just physical properties~

Answer 2

Answer;

(4) Sodium can combine with chlorine to produce a salt.

Step-by-step explanation;

Sodium is an alkali metal (group 1 ) in the periodic table. It is a soft metal, reactive and with a low melting point. It has an atomic weight of 23 grams.

Sodium is a good conductor of electricity due to the presence of delocalized electrons in its metallic structure. It reacts vigorously with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen.

-When exposed to air, metallic sodium recently cut looses its silvery appearance and acquires an opaque grey color due to the formation of a sodium oxide coating.
