Sodium chloride Sodium chloride Sodium chloride , also known as salt (though sea salt also contains other chemical salts), is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. With molar masses of 22.99 and 35.45 g/mol respectively, 100 g of NaCl contains 39.34 g Na and 60.66 g Cl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of seawater and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. In its edible form of table salt, it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. Large quantities of sodium chloride are
Organocadmium compound to be carcinogen to humans by the IARC. Organocadmium compound An organocadmium compound is an organometallic compound containing a carbon to cadmium chemical bond. Organocadmium chemistry describes physical properties, synthesis, reactions and use of these compounds. Cadmium shares group 12 with zinc and mercury and their corresponding chemistries have much in common. Dimethylcadmium consists of linear molecules with C-Cd bond lengths of 213 pm. All organocadmium compounds are sensitive to air, light and moisture. The first organocadmium compounds, dimethylcadmium, CH-Cd-CH, and diethylcadmium, CHCH-Cd-CHCH, were prepared in 1917 by Erich Krause. In general, they are prepared by transmetalation or by an
