Sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt, can be produced by the combination of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). The reaction between sodium and chlorine is highly exothermic and can be represented as follows:
2Na+Cl2→2NaCl
2Na+Cl2→2NaCl
In this reaction, two atoms of sodium combine with one molecule of chlorine gas to form two molecules of sodium chloride.
