Let me clear it:

Na-2 Zn-1
O-2
H-2

Now,

Na2(Na-2) Zn(Zn-1) O2(O-2) + H2(H-2)

Pls mark as brainliest.

meena52: and when we used to balance the eq we write 2Na ya !!
meena52: but in products i have wrote something else !!! plz help n try too understand i want help
Aghaz: let me clear it when u put 2 infront of an eqn. it means the whole eqn. has a valency of 2
meena52: ok wait ill make another q. with a clipping hopefully plz be there
meena52: the image will help me more
Aghaz: now if in the reactant side u wrote 2NaOH then in product side if u write Na2 it means the same
meena52: ya ik !!! let me give the image its so confusing while writing
Aghaz: We write 2 infront of the eqn in order to make it short else qe could also write Na2O2H2 it will mean the same as 2NaOH
