No
Sodium does not exist as molecules in the room temperature and pressure because it is a metal. Although it forms diatomic 'molecules' in gaseous phase at very high temperatures.
Nitrogen gas is diatomic, meaning it consists of two nitrogen atoms bonded together (N2).
Sodium has an electronic structure of 2, 8, 1 with one electron in its outermost shell, while chlorine has an electronic structure of 2, 8, 7 with seven electrons in its outermost shell. This difference in electron configuration determines their chemical properties, with sodium being a reactive metal and chlorine being a reactive nonmetal.
The sodium metal will react with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. The reaction involves a single displacement reaction where sodium replaces chlorine in its diatomic form to form NaCl. The final mass of the flask will increase by 2.0 grams due to the formation of sodium chloride.
6NaOH + 3I2 = 5NaI + NaIO3 + 3H2O Six moles of sodium hydroxide and three moles of diatomic iodine yield five moles of sodium iodide, one mole of sodium iodate, and three moles of water. Cheers!

No, (in solid form at least) It is a metal and metals do not exist as diatomic molecules. That is what I thought, but did some searching and found an article (see below) which talked about diatomic sodium gas. Sodium is present in some light bulbs, and it would make sense that it could exist as a gas in this environment.
Sodium is a monoatomic element, meaning it exists as single atoms in its elemental form. Each sodium atom has one electron in its outer shell.
The correct term for ionic salts (as sodium chloride) is formula unit, not molecule; sodium chloride form very large structural lattices.
The bond in the diatomic chlorine molecule Cl2 is a covalent bond where electrons are shared between atoms. In sodium chloride NaCl, the bond is an ionic bond where electrons are transferred from sodium to chlorine, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
Yes, diatomic substances typically have covalent bonds because they are formed by sharing of electrons between two atoms of the same element. Examples include hydrogen (H2), oxygen (O2), and nitrogen (N2).
Sodium and chlorine are similar in that they are both elements located in the same period on the periodic table and they both belong to the halogen group. Additionally, they both exist as diatomic molecules (NaCl) forming ionic bonds to create the compound sodium chloride.
No, sodium and mercury exist as diatomic molecules in the vapour state due to the nature of their chemical bonding. Sodium forms Na2 while mercury forms Hg2 molecules.
In the giant ionic lattice each sodium ion is surrounded by 6 chloride ions in and octahedral array. Likewise each chlorine is surrounded by 6 sodium atoms. Molecular NaCl , formed at high temperature in the gas phase is found a diatomic molecules NaCl as well as (NaCl)n . The diatomic molecule has a very high dipole moment indicating that the bonding is principally ionic.
