Answer 1

$\huge{Hey Mate!!!}$

☆☞ Here is ur answer ☜☆

✔✔ Since this is an ionic compound, you must balance the charges so that overall charge of the compound is neutral.

✔✔ Sodium, an alkali metal, has a tendency to lose one electron.

✔✔ As a result sodium normally carries a positive one charge. Sulfur, a nonmetal, has a tendency to gain 2 electrons.
