sodium and oxygen
Sodium oxide is made up of three atoms: two sodium atoms and one oxygen atom.
Sodium is an element all by itself.
Sodium is an elemental metal, so sodium is the only element in sodium.
The binary compound made up of sodium and oxygen is called sodium oxide (Na2O).
Sodium is an element- you just need one atom. Its a trick question
23 g of sodium metal will have 6.023 x 1023 atoms (or 1 mole of atoms)
No, sodium oxide is an ionic compound. It is made up of sodium ions and oxide ions, which are held together by ionic bonds formed by the transfer of electrons from sodium to oxygen.
Sodium oxide is a compound made up of the metal sodium and the nonmetal oxygen. Sodium is a metal, while oxygen is a nonmetal.
Oxide can not change to chloride, so the actual answer is no. However- if you put sodium oxide together with hydrochloric acid it will end up as sodium chloride and water (and a lot of noise, probably).
sodium oxide
No. sodium is an alkali metal element that has 12 neutrons, 11 protons and 11 electrons in it's compositional make up.
When sodium reacts with oxygen, it forms sodium oxide. The appearance changes because sodium oxide is a different compound with different properties compared to pure sodium. The increase in mass is due to the combination of the sodium atoms with oxygen atoms to form sodium oxide molecules.
