Oxygen is a non-metal in the 6A Group, so it needs 2 electrons to reach 8 in its outer shell. Sodium is a metal in the 1A Group, so it has 1 electron in its outer shell to donate. Since the oxygen needs 2, but a sodium can only donate 1, the oxygen will get an electron from two sodium atoms, giving the formula:
Na2O
