Sodium is found as a soft solid metal in nature. It is not commonly found by itself, it reacts with things so violently that it is usually found as a compound with other items. Most commonly found is sodium chloride which is just salt. NaCl
The cosmic origin of most sodium is from the core of massive stars, where it is the product of the fusion of carbon. The sodium gets ejected from these massive stars when they explode as supernova. Sodium then reacts with water to form sodium ions, which condense into planets, comets etc. when they form, and then the ions dissolve into any liquid water present. However most sodium on earth is found in the crust where it is found in compounds. Sodium it too reactive to be found free in nature.
The ions of course, due to its high reactivity
Sodium is naturally found in a variety of states, but it is commonly found as the mineral halite, or rock salt, which is a crystalline form of sodium chloride. Sodium can also be found in seawater, in some fruits and vegetables, and as a component of various minerals in the Earth's crust.
Sodium is commonly found in a solid state in its elemental form. Sodium is a metal that is typically stored under oil to prevent it from reacting with moisture in the air.
You can find sodium in its pure form in table salt (sodium chloride). However, it is not commonly found in its pure metallic form in everyday life due to its highly reactive nature.
Sodium nitrate is a solid and is soluble in water
Metallic sodium is highly reactive and will react vigorously with water or oxygen in the air. Therefore, it is not found in its pure form in nature. Instead, it is typically found in compounds such as sodium chloride (table salt) or sodium hydroxide.
Sodium (Na) is a highly reactive element so it cannot be found in free state but we can have it in compound form like NaCl.
+1 ions.
In standard conditions, sodium is a solid.
Household bleach is Sodium Hypochlorite, NaOCl, in a diluted form, and may have minor additives from the manufacturer.
