Sodium ( Na ) – Altichem : Distributor and supplier - Chemical products for industry
Sodium, a mineral element essential for life, is
considered an alkali metal and a mononuclidic element. Due to its lightness,
sodium floats on water, even decomposing, releasing dihydrogen and forming
soda. When stored in an inert atmosphere
of nitrogen (N), argon or oil, sodium is considered an excellent
conductor of electricity. The largest sodium compounds produced by
the industry are sodium chloride, caustic soda and sodium carbonate.
