Here's the breakdown of its chemical makeup:
* Sodium (Na): Two sodium ions (Na+) with a +1 charge each.
* Sulfur (S): One sulfur ion (S⁶+) with a +6 charge.
* Oxygen (O): Four oxygen ions (O²-) with a -2 charge each.
The compound is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the positively charged sodium ions and the negatively charged sulfate ion (SO₄²⁻).
