Question

(1) During the formation of sodium oxide (1 marks)
(a) Two sodium atoms looses 1 electron each and forms 2 Na
ions which are held by electro static force of attraction with
o? ion formed by gain of 2 electrons by 1 oxygen atom.
(b) Two sodium atoms are covalenly bonded to 1 oxygen atom.
1 sodium atom looses 2 electrons and forms Na²+ ion and 1
oxygen atom gains 2 electrons and forms 0² ion. Both the
ions are held together by electro static force of attraction.
(d) None of these,​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)

Explanation:

sodium oxide is ionic compound. Two sodium atom loses 1 electrons each and one oxygen atom gains 2 electrons and the atoms are bonded by eectrostatic bonds
