Sodium is not a radical, it is an element. Chemists use the term radical to refer to small groups of atoms, such as the nitrate or phosphate or ammonium radicals, which tend to remain together as a group even when undergoing chemical reactions. A single atom, such as a sodium atom, is not a radical, it is just an element.
