This element is the namesake of a doublet at the D1 and D2 lines in the Fraunhofer line spectrum.
This element is the namesake of a doublet at the D1 and D2 lines in the Fraunhofer line spectrum. This element was used as the ligand in an electride salt used as a reducing agent in the original development of the Birch reduction. The metallic form of this element is formed in the Downs process. The carbonate of this element is formed in the Solvay process, and lye is the hydroxide of this element. It produces a bright yellow flame in a flame test, and the bicarbonate of this element is baking soda. Name this alkali metal with atomic number 11, and whose plus-charged ion is bound to the chloride anion in table salt.
