Sodium amalgam Sodium amalgam Sodium amalgam, commonly denoted Na(Hg), is an alloy of mercury and sodium. The term amalgam is used for alloys, intermetallic compounds, and solutions (both solid solutions and liquid solutions) involving mercury as a major component. Sodium amalgam is often used in reactions as strong reducing agents with better handling properties compared to solid sodium. They are less dangerously reactive toward water and in fact are often used as an aqueous suspension. No particular formula is assigned to "sodium amalgam". NaHg and NaHg are well defined compounds. In sodium amalgams, the Hg-Hg distances are expanded to around 5 Å
Real element formula_1, Every involution is strongly real. Furthermore, every element that is the product of two involutions is strongly real. Conversely, every strongly real element is the product of two involutions. If and formula_1 is real in formula_2 and formula_30 is odd, then formula_1 is strongly real in formula_2. The extended centralizer of an element formula_1 of a group formula_2 is defined as making the extended centralizer of an element formula_1 equal to the normalizer of the set The extended centralizer of an element of a group formula_2 is always a subgroup of formula_2. For involutions or non-real elements, centralizer and
