Which atom will form an ion sodium or oxygen?

sodium


What burns with water?

Sodium burns in water as it gets reacted with the oxygen in water and yields NaOH and that is why it is stored in Paraffin.


What happens if burnt sodium is exposed to oxygen?

Sodium and Lithium react so rapidly with air and water, that they must be contained under oil. Sodium burns rapidly in air, releasing heat and light energy. If you explore around YouTube for videos of this reaction, some may explode. This is the light and heat energy being given off. Equation: 4Na + O2 --> 2Na2O


What happen when sodium is dropped in water?

The sodium burns, spilting the water into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen itself then burns with explosive force.


What does iron and oxygen form when they combine?

sodium


What Chemical change examples?

Hydrogen and oxygen combine violently to form water. Amorphous carbon (coal) burns in air (oxidation reduction) to form carbon dioxide. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) combines with sodium (Na) to form sodium chloride (NaCl = table salt) and hydrogen gas.


What compound is form by sodium hydrogen carbon and oxygen?

Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3.


What is strange about the metal sodium?

The metal sodium at solid state is so much reactive that it readily oxidises itself with atmospheric oxygen and burns to give sodium oxide.


Sodium chlorate yields sodium chloride plus oxygen gas?

yes it yeilds oxygen and sodium chloride when the heatis applied to the sodium chlorate the heat decomposes the chemical into 2 substances sodium chloride in solid form and oxygen in gas form. NaClO3 + heat ----> NaCl + O3


What happens when magneisum burns with oxygen?

It reacts with the oxygen to form magnesium oxide (MgO).


What does sodium and oxygen make?

Sodium and oxygen are combined to form some kind of oxide of sodium, but there are three different ones. The specific kind produced will be determined by the conditions under which oxidation occurs. When burned in air, sodium will form sodium peroxide(Na2O2). If there is a limited amount of oxygen, sodium oxide (Na2O) will form. Lastly, sodium superoxide (NaO2) will be produced if sodium is burned in oxygen under pressure. Wikipedia has some extra information, and a link is provided.sweat
