a) sodium and fluorine
b) nitrogen and hydrogen

You don't have to do all of them just do

Na is in group I. F is in group VII (or 17 depending on the system your instructor is using) so F is -1. So the formula is NaF. NaF is ionic.
N and H. N is in group V so it needs three electrons. H is in group I so it has 1 e. So the formula is NH3. NH3 is covalent.
