Answer:
Na has 7 electrons in its outer shell thus It is easier for Na to gain one electron rather than to lose 7 to achieve the stable octet. Sodium has 1 electron in its outermost shell. Therefore, it is easier for it to lose 1 electron instead of gaining 7 electrons. Thus, the valency of sodium is 1 not 7.
