When calcium metal (Ca) reacts with oxygen gas (O2), it produces the ionic compound calcium oxide (CaO). Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Then, explain if this process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms
