Is sodium a anion are a cation?
Sodium is an elemental metal, found in the Periodic Table. When it ionises( looses) an electron it becomes the Sodium CATION (Na^(+)). Remember ions that have a positive charge are CATIONS, and ions that have a negative charge are ANIONS. Slo the chloride ion (Cl^-) is an ANION. Collectively they are ions.
