Each sodium can form 1 bond
Each magnesium can form 2 bonds
Each calcium can form 2 bonds
Each chlorine can form 1 bond
Each element isn't a bond. If you are asking what type of bond can these elements form, then the answer is as follows:
Na, Mg, and Ca can form ionic bonds.
Cl can form ionic and covalent bonds

One more question. Can you tell me if these covalent bonds are polar or non-polar? H, O, N, C, P, and S. Please?

You didn't give me any bonds, just elements. I'll assume you want all combinations. Just look up the electronegativity value of each element in the bond and if the difference is greater than 0.4 (general rule, not etched in stone), then it is considered a polar bond. Examples: P-S bond is not polar because EN of P = 2.1 and EN of S = 2.5 (difference isn't greater than 0.4). S-O bond is polar because EN of S = 2.5 and EN of O = 3.5 (difference is greater than 0.4). Hope this answers your question.
