Sodium is one of the elements in the compound sodamide, which is scientifically called sodium amide (NaNH2).
It is formed by reacting sodium metal (Na) with ammonia (NH3).
The reaction of methanol with sodamide (NaNH2) typically results in the formation of sodium methoxide (NaOCH3) and ammonia (NH3) as byproducts. This reaction is often used for the synthesis of sodium alkoxides.
When pyridine reacts with sodamide, the products obtained are sodamide anion (NaNH2) and a protonated pyridine molecule. The NaNH2 acts as a strong base and abstracts a proton from the pyridine molecule to form sodamide anion and a protonated pyridine.
When pyridine reacts with sodamide (NaNH2) and pyrrolidine, it forms a C-N bond cleavage product by replacing the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring with the amide group from sodamide. The resulting product is a pyridine with an amide group attached to its carbon atom.
The sodium hydroxide will react with ammonia to form a complex called sodamide and water. This reaction will increase the pH of the solution and result in the formation of a new compound.

When attached to a carbon chain, it is called an amine and when attached to carbonyl carbon it is called an amide as anion NH2 it accures as sodamide NaNH2, which is prepared by adding sodium metal in liquid ammonia does not occur on its own.
Bases can dissociate in water to release ions other than hydroxide. For example, sodamide (NaNH2) releases sodium cations and anionic amide ions (NH2-). Only salts containing hydroxide dissociate to release hydroxide ions (i.e. NaOH). However, the released ion can then react with water to form hydroxide ions. In the case of sodamide, the amide ion reacts with water to produce ammonia and hydroxide ions. Note that the hydroxide is not formed directly by dissociation of the salt, but in a subsequent acid-base reaction.

Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound with the formula NaF.
Sodium sulfide: Na2S Sodium sulfite: Na2SO3 Sodium sulfate: Na2SO4
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Sodium + Chlorine ---> Sodium Chloride I think that is correct
