Best Answer

The sodium will burn voilently. If sodium is even put in with a small amount of oxygen, this may cause a voilent reaction. sodium may make three substances.

  • sodium peroxide
  • sodium oxide
  • sodium superoxide.

it all depends on the amount of them both and the pressure. if too much pressure is done, a slightly different substance will form or it will disappear and you will get a wrong answer.

What would happen if a positively charged sodium ion and negatively charged chlorine ion come into contact?

They would be strongly attracted to each other. Multiple such attractions are what hold together solid sodium chloride.


If you mixed chlorine argon and sodium together what would you expect to happen?

Sodium will react with chlorine to give you sodium chloride. Sodium will burn out. That means it is exothermic reaction. The argon is noble gas. argon will not take part in the chemical reaction or in the process of burning. Argon will act as a medium to dilute the chlorine. The end products will be same. The time to complete the burning will be little more, when chlorine is diluted with argon gas. This is just like carbon burning in the air and in pure oxygen. Carbon burns brighter in pure oxygen.

What happens when sodium reacts wth sodium hydroxide?

nothing would happen. As there is sodium in both compounds nothing would react. At most depending on the levels and concentrations in this reaction you may get the sodium to disolve a little otherwise nothing will happen

What does 5 atoms of ogygen and 4 atoms of sodium make?

Nothing.4 atoms of sodium would have a 4 + charge and 5 atoms of oxygen would have a 10 - charge.So you need 2 atoms of sodium and 1 atom of oxygen to get...,Na2O=====
