In Latin, Na stands for “natrium” and because of the fact that letter S for Sulfur has been already taken so its named after its Latin name to avoid nomenclature conflicts in the modern periodic table. minerals over eons, and thus sodium and chlorine are the most common dissolved elements by weight in the oceans.
HOW DO U DEFINE ATOM ?
The atom is the smallest object that retains the properties of an element. Atoms are composed of electrons and a nucleus. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.
