    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
