Let us complete it :

Explanation:

In  sodium phosphide

Electrons are transferred from atoms of  sodium

to atoms of  phosphorous .

This transfer makes the sodium atoms  to loose electrons

and the phosphorus atoms  to gain electrons

As a result, the sodium and phosphorus bond  strongly each other with a ionic bond .

The bond formation occurs as shown :

Sodium looses one electron to form Na⁺¹.

Phosphorous gain electrons to form P³⁻.

So, now we have :

Na ⁺        P³⁻

After criss crossing we have :

Na₃P
