Name and symbol of element: NA/Sodium Boiling point: 883 degrees Celsius Melting point: 98 degrees Celsius Gravity/density: 0.97 per cubic centimeter Number of protons, neutrons and electrons: 18 protons, 22 neutrons, 18 electrons Atomic mass: 23 Atomic number:11 Electron configuration and orbital notation: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1 Number of valence electrons: 7 How when and who discovered it: Sir Humphry Davey discovered sodium in 1807. He discovered it because he found a rock with pieces of soft gray inside it.

Where it is mined: sodium is found in many place such as the sun the ocean, streams and in rocks our main source is rocks.

Chemical and physical properties: it has a very high boiling point at 1621.4 degrees farinhight but melts at 204.8 degrees farinhight. And it is very reactive with water and will explode if it touches water Minerals compounds and ores in which found: it is found in rocks and seawater

Two common chemical reactions: in water it explodes and with carbon it bubbles

Industrial and commercial uses: used to make salt for eating and in machinery sodium is not very valubule a pound is 10 dollers.



Unusaul Facts sodium was once found in a little kids sandbox, it was also found in a salt shaker at a reasturaunt. And once they even found it growing in[|valuble] a mud puddle
