The word equation for the reaction between sodium and astatine is: sodium + astatine → sodium astatide.
The word equation for the reaction between sodium and iodine is: sodium + iodine → sodium iodide.
The word equation for the reaction of sodium with oxygen is: sodium + oxygen → sodium oxide.
Another word for baking soda is sodium bicarbonate.

solution Edited: This is not necessarily correct. Take a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. It is homogeneous, but is not a solution.
The word equation for the reaction between sodium and iodine is: sodium + iodine → sodium iodide.
The word equation for the reaction between sodium and astatine is: sodium + astatine → sodium astatide.
The word equation for the reaction of sodium with oxygen is: sodium + oxygen → sodium oxide.
The word equation for the reaction between sodium and astatine would be: sodium + astatine → sodium astatide.
The word equation for sodium reacting with water is: sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas.
4Na + O2 ----> 2Na2O Sodium oxide is formed.
