Sodium (Na) plus sulfur (S) creates sodium sulfide (Na2S). The reason is that Na gives up it's valence electron and S takes it. It takes 2 sodiums because S need TWO electrons to complete the octet. This forms the ionic compound sodium sulfide.

Which elements are in this chemical reaction Na s plus MgF2 s NaF s plus Mg s?

The elements involved in this reaction are sodium (Na) and magnesium (Mg). The reaction occurs between solid sodium (Na) and solid magnesium fluoride (MgF2) to form solid sodium fluoride (NaF) and solid magnesium (Mg).


How does the oxidation state of Li change in the following reaction Li(s) plus NaOH(aq) LiOH(aq) plus Na(s)?

In the reaction between Li(s) and NaOH(aq), Li loses an electron and gains a positive charge, changing its oxidation state from 0 to +1. This occurs because Li donates its outer electron to Na, which reduces Na+ to Na(s).

Is Na (g) plus 2HCl (g) H2 (g) plus 2NaCl (s) is a balanced equation?

No, it should be:2 Na(s) + 2HCl(g) --> H2(g) + 2 NaCl(s)By the way: sodium at normal conditions is a solid metal (s), not gaseous (g)
