Na2O
Sodium does not react easily with oxygen at a room temperature so it has to be heated up a little for the reaction to start. Since air is mostly oxygen once the reaction starts it gets pretty violent and the piece of sodium explode.
Formation of sodium oxide: 4 Na + O2 = 2 Na2O
Na+O2-->NaO2
If you think to the preparation of this oxide the reaction is the treatment of sodium peroxide with oxygen at high pressures: Na2O2 + O2 = 2NaO2
there is no reaction because its salt sodium chloride is what you get after the reaction between sodium and chlorine.
sodium :D
Very probable the reaction of francium with oxygen is faster.
Sodium particularly reacts with the Oxygen in the Air while burning. Sodium + Oxygen ----> Sodium oxide

The product of this reaction will be Na2O.
Sodium and water, in absence of air or oxygen, react to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. When there is a slight amount of oxygen in the reaction mixture this will immediately and explosively react with hydrogen to form water. That's why this is a dangerous reaction.
Na+O2-->NaO2
Sodium is a highly reactive metal. It reacts with water to give sodium hydroxide, and with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate. It the reaction with oxygen, the principal product is sodium peroxide.
