Solution

The correct option is A $2 N a_{2} O$
There are three possibilities in this case, depending upon the amount of oxygen you supply. Following are the reactions with the amount of oxygen increasing down the reactions.

1. 4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O(SODIUM OXIDE)

2. 2Na + O₂ → Na₂O₂(SODIUM PEROXIDE)

3. Na + O₂ → NaO₂(SODIUM SUPEROXIDE)
