Elements in Sodium's Group (Group 1 - Alkali Metals) will have the same amount of electrons in their outer shell (i.e. 1 electron in the outer shell).
The number of elements that contain the same type of outer electrons as sodium is 11.

An electron is not an element.
An element reacts with another element by sharing electrons. The elements keep sharing electrons until both elements have a full outer shell.
Elements with complete outer energy levels are noble, which means that they will not bond with other elements. They are not (normally) reactive.
None. Xenon is itself an element.
Lithium , sodium and potassium are the three elements having 1 valence electron in their outer shell.
There is every known element floating around in outer space, since that is where most of the elements on Earth originally came from. When a star that is 25 times the size of our own sun goes supernova, it explodes and sends out most of it's mass (24 solar masses) into outer space.
This has to do with the number of electrons in the outer shell of the element. Simply put, each element has a certain number of electrons, equal to their atomic number on the periodic table. These electrons are found in "shells," and ideally, the outer shell has 8 electrons in it. If it does not, the element will bond with another element, giving or receiving electrons so that the element has a completed outer shell (8 electrons). The halogens all have an outer shell of 7 electrons. They are only one short of a completed outer shell, and therefore it is very easy and desirable for them to pick up an electron from another element, forming a compound and giving them a full, stable outer shell. For example, in the case of sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium has only 1 electron in its outer shell (called a valence electron), while chlorine has 7. It is very easy for sodium to lose that one electron to chlorine, completing chlorine's outer shell and creating a very stable compound. Because halogens so readily attract electrons to form compounds and are so much more stable as compounds than as elements, they are very rarely found not in compound form.
