What type of reaction is this Na + O₂ → Na₂o

Hope this helps

Reaction with air, water, and hydrogen

The corrosion of solid sodium by oxygen also is accelerated by the presence of small amounts of impurities in the sodium. In ordinary air, sodium metal reacts to form a sodium hydroxide film, which can rapidly absorb carbon dioxide from the air, forming sodium bicarbonate.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.

it would be d. henry moseley

hope this !

and sorry if i'm late. have a good rest of your day! : d
