Na₂O is an ionic compound. Na is in group 1 which means it has one electron in the outer shell. O is in group 6 so it has 6 electrons in the outer shell.
To become stable atoms need to either lose the electrons in the outer shell or gain electrons to gain a complete outer shell configuration.
To become stable Na loses its outer electron and becomes positively charged. It only loses one electron, so net charge is +1. O to become stable gains 2 electrons to complete its outer shell and becomes negatively charged. since it gains 2 electrons, the net charge is -2.
cation - Na⁺
anion - O²⁻
O gains 2 electrons but Na can give only one electron, therefore 2 Na⁺ ions are required.
the compound can be written by exchanging the charges
ions Na⁺ O²⁻
charge +1 -2
exchange Na₂O
Correct answer is <span>Na has +1 charge and O has -2 charge</span>
Answer:
Atoms of Zn (s) lose electrons and are oxidized. Atoms of Zn (s) lose electrons and are reduced. There is a net loss of mass. There is a net gain of mass.
Explanation:

Work = Fdcos(alpha)
Where F is force, D is distance, and Alpha is the angle to the parallel plane (in this case the ground)
I’ll assume alpha is 0 since it’s not given
100 • 12 • cos(0) = 1200 ft-lbs
