Question

balance Na + o² and explain it in detail​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Na and O both are not balanced, so balanced equation by hit and trial method will be:

4Na + O2 → 2Na2O

Sodium is a very reactive metal, it tends to react with oxygen to form sodium oxide, but this is an unstable compound and soon reacts with hydrogen to form sodium hydroxide.

Sodium is a metal that reacts vigorously with oxygen and water.

Na2O is a sodium oxide formed by the reaction between sodium metal and oxygen in the air at room temperature.
