Metals are not discrete molecules therefore they have an infinite amount of ions essentially. The bigger the metal is the more ions it contains.
No, a base is a substance that raises pH when added to water. While some bases do indeed release metal and nonmetal ions, many do not, and many that release metal/nonmetal ions are not bases.
none its two ions one of which (Na) comes from a metal
I do not understand the question Aluminium forms the Al3+ ion Aluminium is a metal and one description of metal bonding is that metals are latttices of ions surrounded by electrons.
All alkaline earth metal ions have a charge of +2
Transition metal ions

Strong bases dissociate entirely into metal ions and hydroxide ions.

Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.
Anins. These may often be non-metals such as oxygen or one of the halogens, but there are many polyatomic ions which have a metal atom at their center, such as AlCl4-

Two ions are lost.

Metal ions do not share electrons with one another. Metal ions have a positive charge.
No. Sodium bicarbonate is an ionic compound consisting of sodium ions, hydrogen ions and carbonate ions. While sodium is a metal, the compound in whole is not.
