sodium (Na), chemical element of the alkali metal group (Group 1 [Ia]) of the periodic table Sodium is a very soft silvery-white metal Sodium is the most common alkali metal and the sixth most abundant element on Earth, comprising 2 8 percent of Earth’s crust
- Sodium - Element information, properties and uses | Periodic Table
Sodium is essential to all living things, and humans have known this since prehistoric times Our bodies contain about 100 grams, but we are constantly losing sodium in different ways so we need to replace it
- Sodium - Chemical Properties, Reactions, Uses | Britannica
Sodium - Chemical Properties, Reactions, Uses: Generally, elemental sodium is more reactive than lithium, and it reacts with water to form a strong base, sodium hydroxide (NaOH)

Sodium is the fourth most abundant element on earth, comprising about 2 6% of the earth's crust; it is the most abundant of the alkali group of metals It is now obtained commercially by the electrolysis of absolutely dry fused sodium chloride
- Sodium - Periodic Table
The chemical abbreviation for sodium was first published by Jöns Jakob Berzelius in his system of atomic symbols It is a contraction of the element's new Latin name natrium, which refers to the Egyptian natron, a natural mineral salt primarily made of hydrated sodium carbonate
