Understanding the Elements of the Periodic Table - SODIUM

Product Description

It's easy to think of salt - just sitting there quietly on your dining room table - as the simple stuff of french fries and peanuts at the ballpark. Here, it just looks like a hard, clear crystal that helps to make food taste a little better. However, if we dig a little deeper, we'll see that the story of salt (NaCl, a combination of sodium and chlorine) stretches back thousands of years through Earth's history and human history. Common table salt is just one of the many substances that are made partly of sodium.
