Ne (Neon gas).

Explanation:

As we know that Na (sodium) is a metal belongs to 1A group and have 1 electron in its valence shell.So it tend lose one electron in order to gain stability in other words to gain noble gas configuration.Atomic no.of Na is 11.

After losing electron (1e-) the remaining electron left are 10.Now after donating electron (1e-) it becomes stable and attain noble gas (Neon: which has 10 electron) configuration.

Hope answer the question.
