Sodium? Like, salt sodium?

Salt is sodium chloride. Sodium is a metal, and it is right below Lithium on the periodic table (behaves and reacts similarly).

Yes, that very sodium. The one that combines with chlorine to give you table salt.

Super abundant, incredibly cheap, much more environmentally friendly.
