Na is the chemical symbol for sodium, a highly reactive alkali metal found in group 1 of the Periodic Table. It is characterized by its soft, silvery-white appearance and low density, making it one of the lightest metals. Sodium is essential for various biological processes, including nerve function and fluid balance, and is commonly found in nature as part of compounds like table salt (sodium chloride). Due to its reactivity, sodium is typically stored under oil or in an inert atmosphere to prevent it from reacting with moisture in the air.
