The difference between the constituent elements present in sodium chloride when they react with oxygen is that sodium monoxide and chlorine heptoxide are produced with single oxygen atom in sodium oxide and seven oxygen atoms in chlorine heptoxide.
Explanation:
- Sodium when reacting with oxygen yields a compound called sodium monoxide which has only one oxygen atom.
- Chlorine element when reacting with oxygen results in chlorine heptoxide in which the compound is composed of seven oxygen atoms.
- Sodium and chlorine are produced due to the decomposition of the compound, sodium chloride.
