Is Na2  is possible.

Dear Student,

Na2is not possible since sodium can form ionic bond only by donating its valence electron.to form covalent bond , it should share its eleectron which it does not do.

Hope it helps.

Good Luck!

 sorry its na+.na2 canoot stay stable.when sodium has to combine with ions having a charge of 2-,then two ions should combine to form na2+ and then combine.ions having a charge of 2-   include sulphate(so4) ,carbonate etc.hope it do help.

it is impossible as Na is a metal and therefore it forms only electrovalent or ionic bond
