Sodium metal is Na
Water is H2O
Sodium has a charge of +1 and hydroxide has a charge of -1, thus sodium hydroxide is NaOH
Hydrogen gas is H2
The skeleton equation is: Na + H2O -> NaOH + H2
The balanced chemical reaction (final answer) is: 2Na + 2H2O -> 2NaOH + H2

Aluminum (Al) has a +3 charge and Iodine (I) has a - 1 charge, therefore aluminum iodide is AlI3. We also need to remember that Iodine is always diatomic I2.
Skeleton equation: Al + I2 -> AlI3
Balanced equation: 2Al + 3I2 -> 2AlI3
