Physical Characteristics
Sodium Hypochlorite is a liquid solution that is clear with a possible hint of a yellowish/yellowish-green colour. It has a unique and strong odor that helps people determine it's bleach.

Chemical Characteristics
Sodium Hypochlorite in it's natural state has a density of 1.07-1.14 g/cm³. (Makansi, 2008)
It's melting point is 18 degrees Celsius and it's boiling point is 101 degrees Celsius. (Makansi, 2008)
When this compound is under normal circumstances with the same temperature and pressure, it's stable. Although, when it is heated or left out for too long; it can become corrosive. It isn't compatible with heavy metals such as magnesium, iron and etc because they could decompose the sodium hypochlorite. (Makansi, 2008) It also isn't compatible with a lot of strong acids because once they're mixed, it can create poisonous gas. ("Chemical Book, 2010")
