The chemical formula for sodium phosphate is Na3PO4, which exists as a solid white powder at room temperature
Na+1 PO4-3 <------ these are the ions and their formulas
Na+1 Na+1 Na+1 PO4-3 <------ the charges have to add up to zero, so two +1 sodium ions were added to cancel out the one -3 phosphate ion
Na3PO4 <------- simplify
Sodium phosphate is a generic term for a variety of salts of sodium (Na+) and phosphate ([PO4]3−), each having different formulas.
A few are: Na3PO4, Na4P2O7, Na5P3O10. There are also many sodium phosphate polymers.

Sodium Tri(poly)phosphate = Na5P3O10
Na3PO4
Sodium has a single positive charge (+), whilst phosphate ions have a 3- charge. To balance out the charges, three sodium ions are needed, so the formula will be Na3PO4.
Sodium Phosphate
Na2HPO4 Thank hangtimepro for that one.
The formula for sodium phosphate tribasic is Na3PO4
sodium is Na phosphate is PO43- again, if you meant to ask the formula of the compound sodium phosphate it is Na3PO4
The compound with formula Na3PO4 is named "sodium phosphate", "trisodium phosphate", "sodium ortho-phosphate", or "trisodium ortho-phosphate".
Sodium Tri(poly)phosphate = Na5P3O10
The formula is NaH2PO4.

The gram atomic mass of sodium is 22.9898, the formula of the least hydrated form of sodium phosphate is Na3PO4.10 H2O, and the gram formula unit mass of this sodium phosphate is 344.09. Therefore, the mass fraction of sodium in this sodium phosphate is 3(22.9898)/344.09 or about 0.20044, and the grams of sodium in 7.2 grams of this sodium phosphate is 1.44 grams of sodium, to the justified number of significant digits.
This is the formula for disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate.
