Solution

Sodium oxide is formed by the reaction of sodium with sodium hydroxide, sodium peroxide or sodium nitrite.
$2 N a O H + 2 N a \to 2 N a_{2} O + H_{2} N a_{2} O_{2} + 2 N a \to 2 N a_{2} O 2 N a N O_{2} + 6 N a \to 4 N a_{2} O + N_{2}$
It can also be produced by burning sodium in air.
$6 N a + 2 O_{2} \to 2 N a_{2} O + N a_{2} O_{2}$
CATION AND ANION are Na⁺and O^2-
