Sodium is a soft, highly reactive alkali metal in group 1. It has one valence electron and almost always forms Na⁺ in ordinary compounds. The element is abundant in seawater, evaporite deposits, and silicate minerals, but it is never found free in nature because it reacts readily with water, oxygen, and many nonmetals. Its salts are central to physiology, glassmaking, detergents, and bulk chemical manufacture.
Sodium, like every reactive element, is never found free in nature. Sodium is a soft, bright, silvery metal which floats on water. Decomposition in water results in the evolution of hydrogen and the formation of the hydroxide. It may or may not ignite spontaneously on water, depending on the amount of oxide and metal exposed to the water. It normally does not ignite in air at temperatures below 115°C.
The name derives from the English soda and Latin sodanum for "headache remedy". The symbol Na derives from the Latin natrium for "natron" (soda in English). Sodium was discovered in 1807 by the English chemist Humphry Davy from electrolysis of caustic soda (NaOH).
Although sodium is the sixth most abundant element on earth and comprises about 2.6% of the earth's crust, it is a very reactive element and is never found free in nature. Pure sodium was first isolated by Sir Humphry Davy in 1807 through the electrolysis of caustic soda (NaOH). Since sodium can ignite on contact with water, it must be stored in a moisture free environment.
From the English word, soda; Medieval Latin, sodanum: a headache remedy. Long recognized in compounds, sodium was first isolated by Davy in 1807 by electrolysis of caustic soda.
Pure sodium is a silvery, lustrous metal when freshly cut. It is soft enough to cut with a knife and quickly tarnishes in air as surface oxides, hydroxide, and carbonate form. At ordinary temperature it is a low-density solid with a relatively low melting point for a metal.
Metallic sodium is used mainly as a chemical reductant and heat-transfer medium where its high thermal conductivity and low neutron moderation are useful, notably in some fast-reactor designs. Sodium vapor lamps were historically important for efficient yellow street lighting. Sodium compounds have far larger uses: sodium chloride (NaCl) for food, deicing, and chlor-alkali feedstock; sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) for glass and detergents; and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for pulp, alumina, soaps, and many chemical processes.
Sodium is used in the production of titanium, sodamide, sodium cyanide, sodium peroxide, and sodium hydride. Liquid sodium has been used as a coolant for nuclear reactors. Sodium vapor is used in streetlights and produces a brilliant yellow light.
Sodium also forms many useful compounds. Some of the most common are: table salt (NaCl), soda ash (Na2CO3), baking soda (NaHCO3), caustic soda (NaOH), Chile saltpeter (NaNO3) and borax (Na2B4O7·10H2O).
Metallic sodium is vital in the manufacture of esters and in the preparation of organic compounds. The metal may be used to improve the structure of certain alloys, descale metal, and purify molten metals.
An alloy of sodium with potassium, NaK, is an important heat transfer agent.

Isotopes in Geochronology
22Na is a cosmogenic isotope with a half-life of 2.6 years that has been used to study the residence time of water in freshwater basins. It has been used for dating of young (up to a few decades old) surface water and groundwater (Fig. IUPAC.11.1) [111] D. G. Fleishman. J. Environ. Radioact.99, 1203 (2008)..
Isotopes in Medicine
22Na is used as a source to calibrate positron emission tomography (PET) imaging scanners to check that the instruments are functioning properly [112] T. Hasegawa, K. Oda, Y. Wada, Y. Sato, T. Yamada, M. Matsumoto, H. Murayama, T. Takeda, T. Sasaki, K. Kikuchi, Y. Abe, H. Miyatake, K. Miwa, K. Akimoto, K. Wagatsuma. “Application of novel calibration scheme based on traceable point-like 22Na sources to various types of PET scanners”, in Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference (NSS/MIC), 2012 IEEE..
Sodium chemistry is dominated by the +1 oxidation state and ionic salts containing Na⁺. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most familiar salt and a major industrial feedstock. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is a strong base, sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) are important alkaline carbonates, and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) is used in detergents and glass. Sodium hydride (NaH) is a strong base and hydride donor in synthesis. Organosodium compounds exist but are generally more reactive and less commonly handled than organolithium reagents.
The most common compound is sodium chloride (table salt), but it occurs in many other minerals, such as soda niter, cryolite, amphibole, zeolite, etc.
Sodium compounds are important to the paper, glass, soap, textile, petroleum, chemical, and metal industries. Soap is generally a sodium salt of certain fatty acids. The importance of common salt to animal nutrition has been recognized since prehistoric times.
Among the many compounds that are of the greatest industrial importance are common salt (NaCl), soda ash (Na2CO3), baking soda (NaHCO3), caustic soda (NaOH), Chile saltpeter (NaNO3), di- and tri-sodium phosphates, sodium thiosulfate (hypo, Na2S2O3 • 5H2O), and borax (Na2B4O7 • 10H2O).
See more information at the Sodium compound page.
Metallic sodium reacts violently with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen (H₂), which can ignite from the heat released. It is stored under dry mineral oil or inert gas and must be kept away from moisture, acids, and halogenated solvents. Concentrated sodium hydroxide and some other sodium compounds are corrosive. Sodium ions are essential in the body, but excessive dietary sodium is associated with adverse health effects in susceptible populations.
Sodium metal should be handled with great care. It cannot be maintained in an inert atmosphere and contact with water and other substances with which sodium reacts should be avoided.
Sodium is widely distributed in rocks, soils, natural brines, and oceans. Weathering releases Na⁺ from feldspars and other silicates, and rivers carry it to lakes and the sea, where it remains highly soluble. In arid regions it can accumulate in soils and impair plant growth by increasing salinity and altering soil structure. Road deicing salts can raise sodium and chloride levels in nearby waters and soils.
The main commercial sodium materials are salts rather than the metal. Sodium chloride is mined as rock salt, extracted from brines, and recovered by solar evaporation; it feeds chlor-alkali plants that make chlorine (Cl₂), hydrogen (H₂), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Sodium carbonate is produced from natural trona deposits or by synthetic processes such as the Solvay route. Metallic sodium is made by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride or related salt mixtures and has a much smaller, specialized market. Recycling is usually process-specific rather than a broad commodity loop.
Sodium is present in fair abundance in the sun and stars. The D lines of sodium are among the most prominent in the solar spectrum. 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. This method is much cheaper than that of electrolyzing sodium hydroxide, as was used several years ago.
Sodium is a moderately abundant light element produced chiefly by stellar nucleosynthesis involving carbon and neon burning and by related neutron-capture reactions in stars. Its yellow D spectral lines are strong and easily observed in stellar atmospheres, comets, planetary exospheres, and interstellar gas. On rocky planets it is commonly incorporated into silicates and soluble salts rather than existing as metal.
- Sodium’s chemical symbol comes from natrium, a Latinized name related to soda minerals.
- The yellow sodium D lines near 589 nm are among the most recognizable atomic emission features.
- Liquid sodium has been used as a coolant because it stays liquid over a broad temperature range.
- Fresh sodium surfaces can look mirror-bright before tarnishing within seconds in moist air.
- Common table salt usually contains additives, so it is not pure sodium chloride.

Sources of this element.
Sodium is present in fair abundance in the sun and stars. The D lines of sodium are among the most prominent in the solar spectrum. 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. This method is much cheaper than that of electrolyzing sodium hydroxide, as was used several years ago.
