Answer:
Option B. Sodium
Explanation:
In the formation of NaCl, sodium loses and electron while chlorine receives the electron as illustrated below:
Na —> Na+ + e- ....... (1)
Cl + e- —> Cl- ......... (2)
Now, combining equation 1 and 2 we have:
Na + Cl + e- —> Na+ + Cl- + e-
Cancelling the electron from both side, we obtained:
Na + Cl —> Na+Cl-
From the above illustration, we see clearly that sodium loses electron

Br
Explanation:
To calculate the valance electrons, look at the periodic table to find the valance electrons for each atom and add them together. P is in column 5A, so it has 5, Br is in column 7A, so it has 7 (multiply by 4 since there are 4 Br atoms to give 28) and there is a 1- charge, so add one more electron. 5+28+1=34, so there are 34 electrons to place. P would be the central atom, so place it in the middle. Place each Br around the P (as shown above) with a a single line connecting it. Each line represents 2 electrons, so 8 total have been place, leaving 26 remaining. Place 6 electrons around each Br (2 on each of the unbonded sides), which leaves 2 electrons remaining. The remaining pair of unbound electrons will be attached to the P between any two Br atoms. Phosphorus doesn't have to follow the octet rule, so it actually ends up with 10 valance electrons.
Answer:
Sodium Hydroxide is an ionic compound formed by two ions, Sodium Na+ and Hydroxide OH− . In order for these two polyatomic ions to bond the charges must be equal and opposite. Therefore, it take one +1 sodium ions to balance the one -1 hydroxide ion. This will make the formula for Sodium Hydroxide NaOH
