Sodium has an oxidation number of +1. Since sodium is in the first family on the Periodic Table, it only has to lose one electron to become stable. It it loses an electron, that makes it positive (because there are more protons than electrons if it loses electrons).

What is the oxidation state of NaBrO3?
In NaBrO3 the oxidation state of sodium (Na) is 1+, the oxidation state of bromine is 5+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen atom is 2-
What is the oxidation state of hydrogen in NaH?
Its oxidation number is -1, which is uncommon for hydrogen.
What is the oxidation state for 2na plus cl2?
2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl. The oxidation state of the sodium ion in NaCl is +1 and the oxidation state of Chloride ion is -1. Oxidation states of the elemental reactants is zero (as for all elements)
What is the oxidation number of solid sodium metal Na?
zero bcoz the oxidation no of element in free state is zero
What is the oxidation number of sodium carbonate?
We can find this in bleaching powder. Chlorine shows +1 oxidation number.
What is the oxidation state of bromine in NaBr?
Bromine is in +5 oxidation state, oxygen is -2 and sodium is +1.
What is the oxidation state of NaBrO3?
In NaBrO3 the oxidation state of sodium (Na) is 1+, the oxidation state of bromine is 5+ and the oxidation state of each oxygen atom is 2-
What is the oxidation state of Sodium Nitrate?
Sodium Oxide, or NaOH, has no oxidation state. It has a charge, which is zero. The elements that make up NaOH, however, do have oxidation states. The oxidation state of sodium (Na) is +1, and it will forever be +1 because it is impossible for it to be anything else, no matter what situation. The same applies for Hydrogen. Oxygen has an oxidation state of -2, and almost always will have an oxidation state of -2. There is one notable exception: H2O2. In this case, since the total charge of the compound is neutral and the oxidation state of Hydrogen must be +1 and, seeing as there are two hydrogens, bringing the overall charge up to 2, the oxidation state of oxygen must be -1. If it was -2, then the molecule would have an overall charge of -2.
What is the oxidation state of hydrogen in NaH?
Its oxidation number is -1, which is uncommon for hydrogen.
Do Na2O have a Roman numeral?
No, Na2O does not have a Roman numeral. When we talk about sodium oxide (Na2O), we are dealing with sodium and oxygen. We know that sodium has a +1 oxidation state in nearly everything it reacts with. You can pretty much bet on it. As it is essentially always going to combine in this +1 oxidation state, there is no need to differentiate that oxidation state from another one, which is what Roman numerals do.Oxygen has (almost always) a -2 oxidation state, and that means it takes two +1's to balance with a -2. Sodium, with its +1 oxidation state, will combine in a two-to-one ratio with oxygen, with its -2 oxidation state, to make the oxide.
What is the oxidation state for 2na plus cl2?
2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl. The oxidation state of the sodium ion in NaCl is +1 and the oxidation state of Chloride ion is -1. Oxidation states of the elemental reactants is zero (as for all elements)
Does Sodium have an oxidation state of plus 2?

What is the oxidation number of each ion in Sodium oxide?
Each of the two sodium atoms in the formula for sodium oxide has an oxidation number of +1, and the oxygen atom has an oxidation number of -2.
What is the oxidation number of Na in NaAlH4?
Sodium has +1 in every compound. It has zero number in pure state.
Which element have just one common oxidation state in compound?
Sodium and Potassium, most comonly exhibit +1
