    Answer and explanation;

    Na - metal

    Cl - poisonous gas

    NaCl - cyrstaline solid that is edible

    An emergent property is a property which a collection or complex system has, but which the individual members do not.

    Water emergent properties: cohesion & adhesion, versatile solvent, temperature moderation, freezing.

    The properties of a compound can be very different from the properties of the elements that make them, for example, Sodium is an explosive metal, and Chlorine is a toxic gas, however, sodium chloride is a Delicious table salt!
