A single sodium ion will combine due to its charge on it
Na^+
The single sodium ion has total one positive charge on it. so it requires only one electron or can bond to one negative charge
in the given polyatomic anions
a) CO3^-2 : it has two negative charge. So it will react with two sodium ions
it will forms Na2CO3
b) PO4^-3 :it has three negative charge. So it will react with three sodium ions
it will forms Na3PO4
c) SO4^-2 : it has two negative charge. So it will react with two sodium ions
it will forms Na2SO4
d) NO3^-1: it has one negative charge. So it will react with one sodium ion
it will forms NaNO3
Hence the correct answer is
Nitrate ion will react with single sodium ion as
Na+ + NO3- ---> NaNO3
Answer:
Metal oxides are crystalline solids that contain a metal cation and an oxide anion. They typically react with water to form bases or with acids to form salts.

Answer:
Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons.
Explanation:
Ionic bonds tend to transfer electrons completely. Take NaCl for example.
Cl has 7 valence electrons.
Na has 1 valence electron.
To stabilize themselves, either with a full 8 shells or full outer shell, Cl wants 1 electron and Na wants to lose 1 electron. So when NaCl forms, Na donates its electron to Cl.
In a covalent bond, the electrons are shared. Water can be used as an example. The electrons in water usually are around the oxygen, but sometimes it is around the hydrogens.
