natriumiin
Natriumiin is the chemical element sodium, symbol Na, and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal with low density and high reactivity. In standard conditions, natriumiin readily loses one electron to form Na+ and participates in a wide range of chemical reactions, notably reacting vigorously with water to release hydrogen gas and form sodium hydroxide.
Natriumiin is not found free in nature. It occurs in numerous minerals and in seawater. The most
Production is primarily by electrolysis of molten NaCl, in processes such as the Downs cell, frequently with
Biologically, natriumiin is a vital electrolyte. It helps regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction,
