To predict the correct formula for the combination reaction between a nonmetal and a Group A metal, just refer to the Periodic Table. The table has both nonmetal and Group A metal elements with their characteristics.

First lets clarify the "group A". Depending where you come from this nomenclature has different meanings. In the US it means the alkali metals (IA) (sodium family) and alkaline earths (IIA) (beryllium family) and the boron (IIIA), carbon (IVA) nitrogen (VA) oxygen (VIA) halogen (VIIA) and noble gases (VIIIA). I think from the question this is what you mean.

The answer is quite simple- its all based on the octet

metals in groups

IA form +1 ions

IIA for +2 ions

IIIA form +3 ( Ga In and Tl also form +1)

IVA form +4 (oxidation number not ion)- +2 ions

non metals in group VA and above

VA for -3

VIA form -2

VIIA form -1

VIIIA form none (well almost!)
