Your answer would be sodium hydroxide.

Your compound is an ionic molecule, because of the positivity of sodium and the negativity of the OH.

In naming these, the name starts with the metal. In this case, it's sodium.

So we know it's sodium _____.

You're left with the OH. To combine them, it becomes hydroxide.

Therefore, you're left with sodium hydroxide.

Good luck!
