Atomic No. 11 Na Sodium

About Sodium

Sodium is an alkali metal with atomic number 11 that forms compounds predominantly in the +1 oxidation state. Sodium compounds are used in glass manufacture, chemical processing and rechargeable battery materials. Sodium yttrium fluoride is also an important host for luminescent materials, particularly when doped with rare earth ions such as ytterbium and erbium to convert infrared excitation into visible emission.
