Sodium's atomic number is 11 and its symbol is Na. Sodium is a bright silvery alkali metal that is about as soft as cold butter. Sodium makes up 50% of table salt along with chlorine. Sodium is essential for all animals as well as some plants. It is consumed by animals in sodium compounds. Pure sodium metal is highly reactive. In the presence of water, sodium will instantly catch on fire and explode. When pure sodium is exposed to the oxygen in the air it quickly tarnishes and turns a light gray/brown color. If sodium is left in the presence of the air long enough it will bubble and turn into a goopy puddle. Performing a flame test for sodium produces a bright yellow flame.

The sodium samples in our cube displays are contained within argon-filled ampules to prevent oxidization.

Safety

We get asked about the radioactivity and overall safety of the periodic tables/cubes from time to time. These are legitimate concerns and we wanted to address those concerns here. Although there are several elements in the cubes that are dangerous or toxic, the acrylic and glass ampules make the products safe to handle and store.

The average American is exposed to 0.034 mrem/hr from background radiation (300 mrem/year). In other words, a person will get three times the radiation from natural background radiation which includes the sun, food, radon, and the environment, than they will from holding a radioactive element in one of our Lucite Acrylic displays.

Care Instructions

Wash with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. Use a clean, soft cloth, or sponge. Rinse and blot dry with a damp cloth or chamois.

*Never use abrasive cleaners, household cleaners, window-cleaning fluids, scouring compounds, gritty cloths, or strong solvents such as alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, etc.*

To maintain the brilliant luster of acrylic, wax and occasionally with a quality grade of automobile paste wax (NOT A CLEANER WAX COMBINATION.) Apply a thin coat with a clean, cotton flannel cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth. NEVER USE HOUSEHOLD SPRAY WAXES.

Proudly made in the U.S.A.
