"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.

The nuclear charge of a nucleus of P-32 is +32 because the nuclear charge is always the amount of protons in the nucleus.
A proton is positively charged. Think of it this way: P for proton, p for positive.

na+1 (PO3)-3 = Na3PO3
inorganic salt
Na3P
Sodium Phosphide
Formula: Na3P
The charge of Phosphorous (P) as an ion is -3.
P certainly obeys the octet rule in phosphides: PH3, Na3P etc.
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
