Sodium lose electrons becoming a cation.
Sodium will lose 1 electron to form a sodium ion.
Because Sodium is in group 1, it tends to lose one electron when forming an ion, therefore having a charge of +1
Each sodium atom will lose one electron to achieve a complete octet in its outer shell, as the octet rule dictates atoms will gain or lose electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in the outer shell.
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
Sodium (Na) tends to lose electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell, which allows it to reach a stable electron configuration. This results in Na forming a +1 cation.
Sodium will lose 1 electron in its compounds.

Lose
Sodium typically loses one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This loss of an electron forms a sodium ion with a positive charge.
When atoms lose or gain electrons, they form ions. These are charged particles.
Se will gain electrons
Sodium has 11 electrons, and one valence electron To achieve noble gas configurations, it would have to gain 7 electrons, for a total of 18 like Argon has. But this gain is impossible. So Sodium loses one electron to look like Neon which has 10.
Lose electrons is oxidation. To gain electrons is reduction.
Silicon (Si) can gain or lose 4 electrons. It can either gain 4 electrons to have a stable octet configuration or lose 4 electrons to achieve a stable configuration.
If you mean Metals... No, they do not gain electrons, they actually lose electrons because it is a lot easy for them to lose them so they can gain stability much faster.
