No, the equation Na + F₂ → NaF is not balanced. Here's why and how to balance it:

Unbalanced:

* Sodium (Na): You have one sodium atom on the reactant side and one on the product side.

* Fluorine (F): You have two fluorine atoms on the reactant side (F₂) and only one on the product side.

Balancing the Equation:

1. Adjust the coefficient in front of NaF: To balance the fluorine, place a coefficient of 2 in front of NaF:

Na + F₂ → 2NaF

2. Adjust the coefficient in front of Na: Now you have two sodium atoms on the product side. To balance the sodium, place a coefficient of 2 in front of Na:

2Na + F₂ → 2NaF

Balanced Equation:

The balanced chemical equation is: 2Na + F₂ → 2NaF
