since it has 11 protons its atomic number is 11
11 - 2,8,1
It has one valence electron so its valency is +1. So it forms ionic bond, as covalent bond is formed only by compounds that can share its electrons. But this element will lose 1 excess electron to attain octet configuration, thus it surely forms an ionic bond.
P.S: The element is Sodium

No. of electrons: 11
electronic configuration: 2, 8, 1
To complete the octet i.e. to fill 8 electrons in its valence shell., it will lose an electron and become cation.
By the way, Sodium has the same no. of protons, electrons and neutrons.(Extra knowledge).
