natrium (Barbalace, 2003, Emsley, 2002). The element is fairly abundant as it makes up 2.6% of the earths crust. The element is obtained though electrolysis of melted sodium chloride, cryolite,
and borax (Barbalace, 2003). The element looks like a soft silvery whit powder and it is an alkali metal (Ball, 2003). At room temperature the element is a solid,
boiling point is 1156 degrees Kelvin, 883 degrees Celsius or 1621 degrees Fahrenheit (Barbalace, 2003). The freezing point at which it becomes a solid is 371 Kelvin, 98 degrees Celsius
or 208 degrees Fahrenheit (Barbalace, 2003). The atomic mass average is 22.98977 (Barbalace, 2003). The density is 0.971g/cc at 300K, the electrical conductivity is 0.21 106/cm (Barbalace,
2003). Looking at the chemical rather than the physical properties the electrochemical equivalent is 0.85775g/amp-hr and when looking at ionisation potential, mean the minimum amount of energy required to
remove the outermost electron from a neutron when the element in the gas state, the first is 5.139, the second is 47.286 and the third is 71.641(Barbalace, 2003). The
atomic structure may be seen as the most interesting, There is an atomic volume of 23.7cm3/mol, and atomic radius of 2.23? (an ?ngstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter) (Barbalace,
2003). The structure of the crystal is a cube and the electron configuration is 1s2 2s2p6 3s1 (Barbalace, 2003, Ball, 2003). The element has 11 electrons with no charge,
12 neutrons and 11 protons (Barbalace, 2003, Emsley, 2002). Sodium has 1 oxidization state (Barbalace, 2003). Everyday Uses Sodium has a range of everyday uses in its pure
state as well as in compounds, the best known used are with the compounds However sodium may be found in medicines and agricultural products as well as in photography. Nuclear
