Explain the reason why sodium chloride cannot be referred to as an alloy even though añ alloy is said to be a combination of two or more elements, one of which is a metal.

1. An alloy is a Mixture of metals.

2. Mixtures are defined as "physically" combined entities

3. Compounds are "chemically' combined entities

4. Since NaCl is a compound it therefore can not be referred to as an alloy

NaCl is a compound. Alloys are mixtures
Mixtures don't have formula because they contain many substance which makes them heterogeneous

The reason is that sodium attaches itself very strongly to other elements. Its compounds are very difficult to break apart

Chai.....How many marks?

The bonding power between dem are strong,

an alloy is a mixture or combination of two metals whereas nacl is made up of metal sodium and a non metal chlorine thus making a compound

veilkonsultant:
... sodium chloride does not corrode under wet conditions

There are many alloys resistant to corrosion.

Wrong.

Sodium-potassium alloy, colloquially called NaK (commonly pronounced /næk/ ), [1] is an alloy of two alkali metals sodium (Na, atomic number 11) and potassium (K, atomic number 19) and which is usually liquid at room temperature

they don't conduct electricity

.
Alloy is combination of two or more metals...NaCl,contains a metal and non-metal.
NaCl is an ionic compound.(A salt)

Wrong.

An alloy simply means the combination of two metals... sodium is a metal bt chlorine is not... so sodium chloride cannot be referred to as an alloy...

... sodium chloride is an end product of reactions. so can't be regarded as alloy

it can not be referred to sodium chloride because Sodium chloride, also known as salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions why allow is a metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion

NaCl is a mixture of metal and non metal while alloy is a mixture of metals

Because of its reaction rate with metals

Wrong.

Salt, for example (sodium chloride, NaCl), is considered an ionic compound, not an alloy of sodium.
This is because if the unlike atoms in a substance are attracted by strong electrical forces, the result is not an ordered solid solution with metallic properties but a true chemical compound

This is because sodium chloride cannot be broken down into it's constituent elements as in the case of an alloy.

Sodium chloride is not alloy cause is not a metal.An alloy is metal consisting of two elements of which one of the element is a metal.

because of the effect of salt on rust

omenka:
There are alloys that combine metals and non metals.

Wrong.

Confirm my second answer please

Because it forms an ionic compound/ salt

Heavy metals are naturally occurring elements that have a high atomic weight and a density at least 5 times greater than that of water.


Sodium is a member of the alkali metals family

Alloys are mixtures of metals, without ionic or covalent bondng. NaCl is a mixture of metal and gas (chlorine) and is regarded as a compound

*Compounds are formed by combining two more more elements that form a chemical bond between the elements in a ratio dependent on the atomic structure. Bonds are either covalaent or ionic, sodium chloride has an ionic bond, hence its a compound not an alloy

Bro Omenka,kindly view my answer at the previous pages

... alloys are more like the target of reactions processes, that what I meant

because sodium chloride, common table salt,
could be described as a metallic compound in
the sense that one of the parent elements in
sodium chloride is a metal, while elemental
chlorine is a non metal. However sodium
chloride itself is not a metal. It is a poor
conductor of electricity,

I'm really waiting for who would eventually win this chemistry question.. Would be interesting
