Which element is more likely to react with oxygen Sodium or Calcium please explain if you can thank you?

Sodium.
Sodium is more reactive than calcium, because sodium has one valence electron whereas calcium has two valence electron. It is easier to lose one electron and react with oxygen and form sodium oxide, compared to losing two electrons and from calcium oxide.

Which is more likely to form a cation between sodium and calcium?
Sodium is easier to form Na+ then Calcium forming Ca2+. The main reason is because Sodium has got 1 valence electron, which is more unstable than Calcium having 2 valence electrons. It requires less energy to remove one electron from Sodium than two electrons from Calcium. Therefore, Sodium is higher than Calcium in the reactivity series.
Which element is more likely to combine with other elements calcium or xenon how do you know?
Calcium. I know because I studied chemistry.
Predict the most likely products from the reaction between calcium carbonate and sodium metal?
no reaction
Which element is more likely to react with sodium?
i dont know read about it fawk
Between what atoms is a covalent bond most likely to occur calcium and lithium sodium and fluorine nitrogen and oxygen helium and argon?
sodium and flourine
Explain why sodium is only found in compounds in nature?
Sodium is a highly reactive element. It is unstable to exist on its own and will react whenever it is capable, which is very likely in nature.
What is most likely to imitate calcium's role in the function of neurons?
Sodium
What is the most likely element to pair with calcium?
Fluorine and oxygen
