<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:
NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA.
Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>
Carbon dioxide is a compound. Oxygen is an element. A compound is 2 or more elements chemically combined. An element is a pure substance. A mixture is combining two or more different compounds/elements.
