The sodium and sulfur elements make the compound of sodium sulfide or Na(2)S. *(2)=subscript 2 The reason for this is because this is an example of an ionic bond (or a bond between a metal and a non-metal) in this case the Sodium is a metal and the sulfur is a non-metal. Since sodium has a charge of +1 and sulfur has a charge of -2 there has to be 2 sodium and one sulfur, thus making the charges of the two elements cancel out.
No, Sulfur Trixoxide SO3 is a molecule. There is a polyatomic ion called the Sulphite ion which has the formula SO32-.
Many metals form ionic sulfides containing the S2- ion, , for example sodium, Na2S sodium sulfide. Iron forms a sulfide, FeS, iron(II) sulfide and a disulfide, containing the S22- ion, iron, iron(II) disulfide, FeS2 , "fools gold"
Sulfur hexafluoride is not a monatomic ion but in fact a molecular compound.
When sulfur reacts with a metal to form an ionic compound, it typically forms a sulfide compound, such as magnesium sulfide (MgS) or sodium sulfide (Na2S). The sulfur atom gains electrons from the metal atom, resulting in the formation of a negatively charged sulfide ion.
Sodium carbonate is formed from the reaction of the sodium ion with the carbonate ion in the form of Na2CO3. It is an ionic compound that consists of sodium cations (Na+) and carbonate anions (CO3^2-).
Sodium and sulfur make sodium sulfide together. 2Na+ (2 cations) and S2- (anion) make Na2S (compound)
Sodium and sulfur together in a compound represents a ionic bonds, because sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non-metal. The chemical formula for this compound would Na2S, and its name would be sodium sulfide.

Sodium sulfate is ionically bonded between the sodium ion and the sulfate ion. However, the sulfate ion is covalently bonded between the sulfur and the oxygens.
Sodium chloride is a compound not an ion; after dissociation of NaCl ions are obtained: Na+ and Cl-.
The compound formed between a sodium ion (Na+) and a phosphate polyatomic ion (PO4 3-) is sodium phosphate (Na3PO4). This ionic compound is formed through the combination of three sodium ions and one phosphate ion, resulting in a neutral compound.
Yes, sodium and sulfur can form an ionic bond by transferring an electron from sodium to sulfur. Sodium gives up an electron to become a positively charged ion (Na+), while sulfur accepts the electron to become a negatively charged ion (S2-).
Sulfur hexafluoride is not a monatomic ion but in fact a molecular compound.
When sulfur reacts with a metal to form an ionic compound, it typically forms a sulfide compound, such as magnesium sulfide (MgS) or sodium sulfide (Na2S). The sulfur atom gains electrons from the metal atom, resulting in the formation of a negatively charged sulfide ion.
This ion is sodium, Na+.
