Photo Prints From Science Photo Library
Cut sodium metal
Cut sodium metal. Chunk of the reactive metallic element sodium (Na). The shiny surface has been exposed by a knife cutting the soft metal. Sodium is an alkali metal that reacts rapidly with the water and oxygen in the air. This will tarnish the exposed shiny surface as the oxide and hydroxide form (see C010/9659). Sodium is not found in its elemental form in nature, due to it being highly reactive, and is mainly found in deposits of salt (sodium chloride), from which it is obtained by electrolysis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a chunk of sodium metal, a highly reactive metallic element. The knife's precise cut has exposed the soft metal's shiny surface, revealing its pure and fresh appearance. Sodium is an alkali metal known for its rapid reaction with water and oxygen in the air. As a result, the exposed surface will soon tarnish as oxide and hydroxide compounds form. Interestingly, sodium is not naturally found in its elemental form due to its extreme reactivity. Instead, it is primarily obtained from deposits of salt (sodium chloride) through electrolysis. In this image captured against a clean white background in a laboratory setting, we can appreciate the intricate details of this fascinating chemical element. The photograph serves as an educational tool for school science or chemistry classes, providing students with visual insights into the properties and reactions of alkali metals like sodium. It highlights concepts such as oxidation and showcases how cutting or exposing sodium can lead to oxidization processes resulting in compounds like sodium hydroxide and sodium oxide. This stunning studio shot by Science Photo Library offers viewers an up-close look at one of nature's most reactive elements – sodium – while emphasizing its unique characteristics within the realm of chemistry research and exploration.
