No, they are not the same thing. Elemental sodium (Na) is a soft silvery metal that violently burns up when water touches it. Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is the scientific name for table salt - the same stuff you put on food.

What is the possibility of eating sodium and chloride?
The compound sodium chloride (NaCl) is also known as table salt, and it is eaten by everybody. The elements sodium and chlorine are not eaten in their elemental form, however, and would be extremely toxic if you tried to eat them.
What happens when you react sodium with chloride?
The elemental sodium (Na) does not react, the sodium cation ( Na+ ) combines with chloride anion ( Cl- ) when water is evaporated to form table salt (NaCl), but this is NOT considered to be a chemical reaction, it is a pure physical change in the state of matter (solution -> solid + water).
Is the compound sodium chloride the same as the element sodium or the element chlorine?
A compound, by definition is made up of more than one element. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is vastly different from both elemental sodium (which is a metal which dissolves when exposed to water) and chlorine (which is a gas that can kill you if you inhale enough of it). When you react both Sodium and Chlorine however.
