1 electron which makes it belongs to group 1
Sodium has 1 electon in it's outer orbit, 8 in the second and 2 in the first.
None - the electron goes from sodium TO the chlorine.
Sodium has one outer ring electron, and chlorine has seven outer ring electrons. Sodium tends to lose its outer electron, while chlorine tends to gain an extra electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.
A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons. In its outer energy level, it has 1 electron. Sodium's electron configuration is 2-8-1.
One chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell, and sodium has 1 electron in its outer shell. Therefore, sodium can donate its electron to chlorine, forming a stable compound where chlorine has a full outer shell with 8 electrons.

Sodium is in the third group in the periodic table. It meens that sodium has three shell. First shell - 2 electrons, second shell - 8 electrons, third shell (outer energy level) - 1 electron.
It needs to lose one electron so that it can have 8 electrons in its outer orbital
Elements in the same group as sodium (Group 1) all contain the same number of outer electrons, which is one. Therefore, there are six elements in the same group as sodium: lithium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, francium, and hydrogen.
Sodium has one electron in its outer ring.
Just one.
All of 11 electrons in sodium are in different electron orbitals: 2 electrons are in 1s orbital, 2 in 2s, 6 in 2p and 1 in the 3s orbital. (This last one is the so-called valence electron)
Sodium has ONE valence electron in its outer shell that is to be donated to any kind of oxidant. By then the outer (3rd) shell (of the Na+ ion) is EMPTY, so the 2nd shell has become the outmost, containing 8 electrons (Ne-configuration). No electrons at all are taken up by sodium.
