Answer: water molecules are polar and Os are slightly negative. Na loses its electron to the nearest H and so is positive. The overall reaction is that the single electron of Na attaches to a H, breaking the bond with O. This leaves Na+ and the OH- ions in solution, while the H atoms form H2 and are released as gas.
