    Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air to form sodium oxide, and traces of yellowish sodium peroxide ... Probably, the reaction with atmospheric oxygen will be faster, because I have never seen sodium metal turning whitish on exposure, though it does lose its lustre and and reactivity (just the surface).
