For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.
(1) Sodium is carrying +1 charge called as cation and chloride is an anion carrying -1 charge. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
(2) Sodium is carrying +1 charge called as cation and phosphate is an anion carrying -3 charge. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral .
