"concentrate in the food chain. Branched alkenes are resistant to degradation by bacteria and hence linear alkyl sulfonates are used in detergents. Sodium alkyl sulfate Sodium alkyl sulfates (SAS) are water-soluble salts that act as detergents or wetting agents. Sodium alkyl sulfate is the singular of a group of generic salts called sodium alkyl sulfates, which is a mixture of different alkyls as the term implies, e.g. sodium lauryl sulfate. They are pale yellow solids/ powders or thick liquids, which smell of detergent. They are water-soluble and can form soap bubbles. The chemical formula is CHOSOO Na. The CAS Number"

Natron historically had several important industrial and household uses, later eclipsed by other sodium compounds. Sodium imparts an intense yellow color to flames. As early as 1860, Kirchhoff and Bunsen noted the high sensitivity of a sodium flame test, and stated in Annalen der Physik und Chemie: In a corner of our 60 m room farthest away from the apparatus, we exploded 3"

NaZn and NaCd are alloys of zinc and cadmium. Sodium and mercury form NaHg, NaHg, NaHg, NaHg, and NaHg. Because of its importance in human metabolism, salt has long been an important commodity, as shown by the English word ""salary"", which derives from ""salarium"", the wafers of salt sometimes given to Roman soldiers along with their other wages.

The pseudoelement symbol ""Ac"" is also sometimes encountered in chemical formulas as indicating the entire acetate ion (CHCO), or the acetyl group (CHCO). It is not to be confused with the symbol of actinium, the first element of the actinide series; context guides disambiguation. For example, the formula for sodium acetate might be abbreviated as ""NaAc"", rather than ""NaCHO"". Care should also be taken to avoid confusion with peracetic acid when using the OAc abbreviation; for clarity and to avoid errors when translated, HOAc should be avoided in literature mentioning both compounds.

For example, ""He"" is the symbol for helium (New Latin name, not known in ancient Roman times), ""Pb"" for lead (""plumbum"" in Latin), and ""Hg"" for mercury (""hydrargyrum"" in Greek). Some symbols come from other sources, like ""W"" for tungsten (""Wolfram"" in German, not known in Roman times). Temporary symbols assigned to newly or not-yet synthesized elements use 3-letter symbols based on their atomic numbers. For example, ""Uno"" was the temporary symbol for hassium (element 108) which had the temporary name of ""unniloctium""."

The name is derived from νατρών natron, the Greek word for soda, in reference to the sodium content and λίθος lithos, meaning stone. Needle stone or needle-zeolite are other informal names, alluding to the common acicular habit of the crystals, which are often very slender and are aggregated in divergent tufts.
