No. Sodium oxide is an ionic compound and is not composed of molecules.
It is Sodium Oxide
Today are known three oxides of sodium: * Sodium oxide (Disodium oxide): Na2O * Sodium peroxide (Disodium dioxide): Na2O2 * Sodium super-oxide (Sodium dioxide): NaO2
No. Sodium oxide has only basic properties, no acidic ones.
Na2O sodium oxide
polar
Being an "Oxide" it has 1 extra electron that it will give up. Being negative in charge it is a negative polarity. A Polar bond.
Water is polar. NaCl is polar. Polar substances are soluble in polar solvents.
Sodium oxides are Na2O, NaO2, Na2O2. Molecules are neutral.
NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.
Carbon dioxide
Both have polar molecules.
Fats and oils are nonpolar, so they will remain separate from molecules of a polar solvent such as water. Sodium and chloride ions are attracted to charged regions on molecules of polar solvents such as water.
It is Sodium Oxide
Na- sodium O- oxygen Na2O- Sodium oxide
When sodium chloride dissolves in water it does so because the positive and negative ions are attracted to the polar water molecules. Benzene molecules are not polar so there is much less attraction.
