Baking soda is made up of sodium, carbon and oxygen.

Good morning Sir and class. Today I’m going to explain background information on sodium and common compounds formed with sodium.

The history of sodium began a long time ago, in 1807, when it was isolated by Sir Humphry Davy by electrolysis of solid sodium hydroxide

It is the fourth most abundant element on earth, compromising about 2.6% of the earths crust. Sodium however is never found free in nature, just like most reactive metals, and is a soft bright, silvery metal, which floats on water.

Sodium is a common metal and is used in many household products including table salt (sodium chloride) an

Sodium today is still extracted from the sodium compounds by using electrolysis. Since extraction from the metal ore involves reduction of the metal,
