"Sodium phosphorus" is not a valid name for a chemical compound, so it's impossible to answer this question. Sodium phosphatewould be Na3PO4. Sodium phosphide would be Na3P. There are other compounds (sodium phosphite, sodium metaphosphate, etc.) which have similar names, each of which has its own formula. You'll need to make it more clear which one you're talking about to get a definitive answer.
Sodium and phosphorus form sodium phosphide when they combine. The chemical formula for sodium phosphide is Na3P.
Group 15 elements generally form covalent compounds. However the two elements from group 15 nitrogen and phosphorus are known to form nitride (N3-) and phosphide (P3-) ions as in Na3N or Na3P.
This is the group N, P, As, Sb,Bi and so the following would be representative: NH3 ammonia; Na3P sodium Phosphide, Na3PO4 sodium phosphate; GaAs, Galium Arsenide; Sb2O3 Antimony Oxide; BiOCl; Bismuth Oxychloride would be representative

Na3P sodium phosphide
Sodium combines with phosphorus to form sodium phosphide (Na3P) which is an ionic compound.
Ionic =) ================== You might think the bonds are ionic if you believe the misconception that all metal-nonmetal compounds contain ions, and are thus "ionic." The bonds in Na3P have only 33% ionic character, meaning the bonds have much greater covalent character than ionic character. There are no 100% ionic bonds, and in Na3P there are no Na+ ions nor P^3- ions. Nor are P^3- ions produced when Na3P reacts with water. Phosphine gas is liberated from a solution of sodium hydroxide. The reaction is very exothermic. Na3P(s) + 3HOH(l) --> 3NaOH(aq) + PH3(g) --- Pisgahchemist

Its formula is Na3P. This is highly basic and very reactive towards acids (even as weak as water)
