Answer #1

4) sodium will lose 1 electron forms +1 charge

so for sodium = +1

5) sulfate = SO4-2

oxidation state = -2

6) for any ionic compound number of positive charges must be equal to number of negetive charges

Na2SO4 is the ionic molecule formed between sodium and sulfate

7) cation = sodium = Na+

anion = sulfate = SO4-2
