Sodium is found in the Earths crust!! But i don't know about the ocean!! And Sodium is salt!!
Seawater is a good place to find Sodium.
Salt, or sodium chloride (NaCl).
The most important part of the sodium and calcium are dissolved from the earth salts and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.
The Artic Ocean is at the top of Earth. It is above Russia and North America.
The saltiness of the ocean mainly comes from the mineral content of the Earth's crust, which gets dissolved and carried into the ocean by rivers. The primary components of ocean salt are sodium and chloride ions, found in compounds like sodium chloride (table salt).

- salt is dissolved from the earth (also as ions Na+ and Cl-) and transported in oceans by rivers - chlorine from volcanic activity in oceans and sodium from the earth form NaCl
Ocean water is approximately 3.5% sodium chloride by weight.
The average concentration of sodium chloride in ocean waters 1s 35 g/L.
Sodium is found in the oceans primarily as the compound sodium chloride - common salt.
No, it is the most common dissolved ion in the ocean. The most common element by mass is oxygen as the ocean is still mostly water.
Chlorine in ocean water primarily comes from the dissolution of salts in the Earth's crust, particularly sodium chloride (table salt). It is released into the ocean through the weathering of rocks on land and volcanic eruptions.
