1 (a) Sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride as shown in the following
chemical word equation:
sodium + chlorine → sodium chloride
Give two ways in which sodium chloride differs from its constituent elements.
Thought process:
Sodium chloride is a compound. You need to think of how properties of
compounds are different from the constituent elements.
Suggested answer:
o Sodium chloride is a solid at room temperature, while one of its
constituent elements, chlorine is a gas at room temperature.
o Sodium chloride is a edible but both of its constituent elements are
inedible.
o Sodium chloride is a non-conductor of electricity or heat but its
constituent element, sodium is a good conductor of heat and
electricity.

3 State with reasons, whether there is any chemical reaction when the following
substances are mixed together. Write down the name(s) of the product(s)
formed if there is a chemical reaction taking place.
When sodium chloride is mixed with water, it will dissolve to form salt
solution. Only a physical change has taken place. No new products
formed.
