If you eat metallic sodium or inhale chlorine gas, you stand a strong chance of dying. When these two elements combine, however, you can safely sprinkle the resulting compound on your pop corn for better taste. What is going on?

For the same reason you can breath hydrogen and oxygen gasses, but you drown in water.

Sodium (Na) is a metallic element with an atomic number 11. It has only one stable isotope, It s a highly reactive metal. And Chlorine (Cl) with the atomic number of 17, is a powerful oxidant and is used in bleaching and disinfectants. As a common disinfectant, chlorine compounds are used in swimming pools to keep them clean. When you combine this to elements you end up with NaCl which it is salt .You combine them by transferring one electron from Na to Cl and then they become stable by having eight electrons each.
