Answer:

The name for
Na_2SO_4 is written as: Sodium sulfate

Step-by-step explanation:

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 nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'. if the negative ion is polyatomic ion of oxyanion like
SO_4^(2-),NO_3^(-) sulfates and nitrates respectively.
