Sodium oxide (SOX) is a chemical compound with the formula Na2O. It is used in ceramics and glasses though not in a raw form. It is the base anhydride of sodium hydroxide so when water is added to sodium oxide NaOH is produced.Na2O + H2O → 2 NaOHThe alkali metal oxides M2O (M = Li Na K Rb) crystallise in the antifluorite structure.
