Question

1. Find the elements sodium, oxygen, and phosphorus on the periodic table. Describe the monoatomic ions each would form. Then, given what you know about chemical bonding, describe and give the formulas for the types of ionic compounds they would produce with each other

Answer 1

Do you not have a periodic table?

Answer 2

Sodium is in group 1A, so it would tend to lose 1 electron to get to noble gas electron configuration making an ion with a charge of +1.

Answer 3

Can you try oxygen and phosphorous?

Answer 4

They also want a noble gas electron configuration with losing or gaining as few electrons as possible.
