Answer: HEY THERE!
Explanation: HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Sodium has one valence electron, so giving it up would result in the same electron configuration as neon. Atoms are more stable when they have no charge, or a small charge
HOPE THIS HELPED AND HAVE A NICE DAY!
Most elements are most stable when they have an arrangement of 8 electrons in their outermost shell. (The Octet Rule) Once an element has reached this number of electrons in the outer shell (through bonding) they will become unreactive. The noble gasses (rightmost column of the periodic table) are already stable, hence it must have 8 electrons in it’s outer shell. (Octo)
