Sodium Hydroxide is an ionic compound formed by two ions, Sodium ##Na^+## and Hydroxide ##OH^-##.
In order for these two 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##.
