Answer

$M_{2}S$ $M_{3}N_{2}$ $AlX_{3}$

Work Step by Step

When metals react with non-metals the ionic compounds are formed through transfer of electrons from metals to non-metals. When alkali metals combine with sulphur the resultant compounds are called sulphides with a general formula $M_{2}S$. When alkaline earth metals react with nitrogen, metal nitrides are formed with a general formula $M_{3}N_{2}$. The compounds formed between Al and halogens are known as Al halides with general formula $AlX_{3}$.
