How is a sodium ion symbol written? so so- na na-

   Na⁺ or Na⁺¹

Explanation:  Sodium as an element of the first group of the periodic system has atomic number 11. This means that there are 11 electrons negatively charged around the nucleus, and also 11 protons in the nucleus that are positively charged. As is known, the number of electrons and protons should be equal within the element to keep the element neutral. In order for the sodium element to become a sodium ion, one electron leaves its place and has 10 electrons, which is one less than the number of protons in the nucleus, so that the sodium ion is positive. The ion symbol is written by adding the superscript on the right as + or - in addition to the symbol of the element that is first written, depending on which ion is in question. In this case, + should be written as a superscript.

Also if the charge of the ion is say, +2 then it is written as a superscript behind the element symbol as +2. If it is +1 like with sodium ion, then only + can be written.

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
