Sodium. Pieces of the reactive metallic element sodium (Na) stored under oil in a jar
Sodium. Pieces of the reactive metallic element sodium (Na) stored under oil in a jar. This soft alkali metal reacts rapidly with the water and oxygen in the air. The protective oil layer prevents this from happening. Sodium is not found in its elemental form in nature, due to it being highly reactive, and is mainly found in the salt (sodium chloride) of salt deposits and sea water. Sodium is obtained by the electrolysis of sodium chloride. Numerous sodium compounds are manufactured by the chemical industry and have wide-ranging uses

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Bring the fascinating world of science into your home or office with Media Storehouse's Sodium Poster Print. This captivating image, courtesy of Science Photo Library, showcases the reactive metallic element sodium (Na) in its natural state. Stored under oil to prevent reaction with water and oxygen, the soft, silver-white sodium pieces are a sight to behold. Add this visually striking poster to your collection and ignite a sense of wonder and curiosity in all who see it.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 55.1cm x 42cm (21.7" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with landscape (horizontal) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the reactive metallic element sodium (Na) stored under oil in a jar. The soft alkali metal, known for its rapid reaction with water and oxygen, is carefully protected by a layer of oil in this image. Sodium's highly reactive nature prevents it from being found in its elemental form in nature; instead, it is primarily obtained from salt deposits and sea water as sodium chloride. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of chemistry, highlighting the importance of protecting such a volatile substance. The protective oil layer acts as a shield against any unwanted reactions that could occur when exposed to air or moisture. This visual representation emphasizes the significance of proper storage techniques when dealing with highly reactive elements like sodium. Furthermore, this image reminds us of the extensive industrial applications of sodium compounds manufactured by the chemical industry. These compounds find their way into various products across different sectors due to their wide-ranging uses. Science Photo Library has once again provided an intriguing glimpse into the world of science through this stunning print. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary objects lies an extraordinary story waiting to be explored and understood.
