It's an element.
Sodium oxide is considered a base because it reacts with water to form a strong base, sodium hydroxide. When dissolved in water, sodium oxide produces hydroxide ions that can accept protons, making it a base according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition.
A base. In solution sodium hydroxide breaks down to, Na(+) and OH(-) the OH(-) can accept a proton and thus fulfills the definition of a base
A compound, by definition is made up of more than one element. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is vastly different from both elemental sodium (which is a metal which dissolves when exposed to water) and chlorine (which is a gas that can kill you if you inhale enough of it). When you react both Sodium and Chlorine however.
Lye is a strong alkali compound, not an acid. It is typically composed of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, which are both bases.
No, salt is not always an ionic compound. It can be an ionic compound, like sodium chloride (NaCl), but it can also be a covalent compound, like sodium acetate (CH3COONa). The classification of salt as ionic or covalent depends on the elements involved and their bonding.
Sodium chloride is an inorganic ionic salt with the formula unit NaCl.
Sodium hypochlorite, a compound of sodium, chlorine, and oxygen, is used as a bleaching agent and disinfectant when diluted in water.
Sodium chloride is the sodium salt of hydrogen chloride.
Sodium bicarbonate used in cooking, for cleaning, or in toothpaste.
Yes, but it is redundant to say "homogeneous compound" as a compound is, by definition, homogeneous.
Sodium oxide is considered a base because it reacts with water to form a strong base, sodium hydroxide. When dissolved in water, sodium oxide produces hydroxide ions that can accept protons, making it a base according to the Brønsted-Lowry definition.
The FDA defines "low sodium" as containing 140 mg or less of sodium per serving. This designation is intended to help consumers identify food items that are lower in sodium content compared to their regular counterparts.
Sodium amalgam is a compound formed by the reaction of sodium with mercury, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. It is used in organic chemistry as a reducing agent and in organic synthesis reactions. However, it is highly reactive and toxic due to the presence of mercury.

By definition, atoms are elements that are in their original (neutral) forms with the number of protons in the neucleus equals to the number of electrons in the shells. In Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), the Sodium is Na+, which is an ion. Hydroxide in it's own is an ion (OH-). Oxygen receives electron from Sodium to form (OH-) and (Na+). In this case, Hydrogen is theoretically the only atom.
No. By definition a "solution" has a minimum of two components. An element is a single atomic entity. A solution cannot be an element.
