Sodium metal is an element.
Neither, sodium metal is an element.
Sodium is an alkali metal.
A metal and a non metal. If you combine two metals, you get a metallic (or a physical) bond. If you combine two non metals you get a covalent bond. Metals are any element on hte Periodic Table to the left of the zig zag likne. non metals are to the right. One example of an Ionic compound would be Sodium Chloride (salt): NaCl
Alkali metal
Sodium metal is an element.
This metal is sodium (Na).
The alkali metal, sodium, is an element.
This element is sodium - a layer of sodium oxide is formed on the surface of the metal.
Neither, sodium metal is an element.
Sodium is an alkali metal.

Sodium is an element. Chemical symbol Na Number 11
Presuming that you mean from the left and right of the periodic table, you are likely to get an ionic compound as the left hand (metal) element loses electrons and the right hand (non metal) element gains them.
Sodium is a compound.
