@gandalfwiz hey ! what about  the correct formula for Na+ and (SO4)2- ?
isnt it Na2SO4 since 'the compound is sodium sulphate I think

anonymous · Answer

Yep, it is. When you're making ionic compounds, you switch the number for the charges, so because Sulfate has a charge of 2-, the Sodium takes on the 2 and becomes Na2SO4. Does that make sense?
