Any modification occur.
Sodium only has one valence (outer shell) electron. It wants to fulfill the octet rule and have a full (8 valence electrons) outer shell. It could do this by adding 7 electrons to the one that's already there, or it could simply lose the one electron it has because the next shell is already full. But since it is "easier" for sodium to lose a single electron and requires the least amount of energy, this is what it does.
An atom of sodium has one valence electron. When a sodium atom loses this electron to another atom, it becomes a sodium ion.
