Mineral Species containing Sodium (Na)

Element Properties, Isotopic Compositions for Sodium

**Sodium (Na) Element Properties**
Atomic Mass	22.989768
Atomic Number	11
Name Origins	English, soda; Latin, natrium.
Year Discovered	1807
Discovery Credits	Isolated by Sir Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution, London, UK.
Remarks	Soft, silvery white metal which oxidizes rapidly when cut. Reacts vigorously with water. Produced in large quantities and used as metal in heat exchanger in atomic reactors. NaCl is key industrial chemical, used to make Cl₂, NaOH, etc. Diagnostic tests: Compounds containing sodium give a strong and persistent yellow flame test. The test is so sensitive that sodium contamination may give a false positive. Glass blowers Didymium Safety Glasses may be used to block out this emission to observe the less intense colors from other elements.
