I didn't mean NaCl as an element ,just as something related to the elements and cooking

The element which has the Atomic number 6 on the periodic table is CARBON
by the way nacl is not an element, but a compound - sodium chloride.
i cannot figure out the connedction with a bicycle, maybe someone can.

Carbon is element 6 in the periodic table, and is related to cooking because all food contains carbon, and fossil fuels used to produce electricity (and natural gas) contain carbon.
Carbon COULD relate to a bicycle, as carbon fibre is often used in frame components, and carbon is used as 'carbon black' in making rubber for tyres.

Andrew G has it mostly right but it's related to cooking because that's what my mother used to reduce most meat to ... carbon (you've got to cook it well Raymond or you'll get food poisoning).
The bicycle thing sounds pretty right - but that also applies to a lot of items like boats, surfboards, hockey sticks etc.
