Sodium is a representative element belonging to group 1 (s block element)
Sodium has the configuration Ne 3s2 . Sodium is group-1 element.
The sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons. The electron configuration of sodium is 2-8-1. The third noble gas shell is the second energy level or shell, which can hold a maximum of 8 electrons. Therefore, the number of electrons in the third noble gas shell of sodium is 1.
The noble gas configuration of a sodium ion (Na+) is the same as that of neon. This means that the electron configuration of sodium ion is [Ne] where [Ne] represents the electron configuration of neon.
Sodium has 11 electrons, and one valence electron To achieve noble gas configurations, it would have to gain 7 electrons, for a total of 18 like Argon has. But this gain is impossible. So Sodium loses one electron to look like Neon which has 10.
The noble gas configuration of sodium is [Ne]3s^1. This means that it has the same electron configuration as neon except for one additional electron in the 3s orbital. Sodium typically loses this electron to achieve a stable octet configuration.
Neither, Sodium is an Alkali Metal.
No, Na is sodium, an alkali metal. The noble gasses are in the far right column of the periodic table.
A noble gas is inert. However they sometimes sodium ions or mercury vapor.
Sodium would need to lose one electron in order to obtain a full and stable outer shell, however it would be an ion with a positive charge

The ion formed when sodium achieves a noble-gas electronic configuration is Na+. This means that sodium has lost one electron to achieve the same electron configuration as neon, a noble gas, which has a stable electron configuration.

That is correct. A noble gas (or at least all the noble gas elements heavier than helium) has an electron configuration of 8 electrons in its outer shell, and the sodium and chlorine ions in sodium chloride also have 8 electrons in their outer shell, just like a noble gas atom.
The noble gas configuration of sodium is [Ne]3s^1. This means that it has the same electron configuration as neon except for one additional electron in the 3s orbital. Sodium typically loses this electron to achieve a stable octet configuration.
Na+ = 1s2, 2s22p6, 3s0which is 2, 8, 0 of Neon
