All atoms have a period number assigned, even Sodium. Ok but how do we know what is the period name for an atom of Na?
If we know the symbol, let's say Na, we may then open any periodic table and search for Sodium. Any decent periodic table should have the period numbers when you scroll left starting from the element you found.
In the case of Sodium the period number is 3. There is a lot of cool stuff about Sodium that people simply don't know. Let me show you...
1 (Group Number)

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.
To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:
Luz, Gelson. "Period Number of Sodium (Na) (& Location, Uses ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>
Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.

solidDescription
Soft silvery-white metal. Sixth most abundant element in the earth's crust. Burns in air with a brilliant white flame.Atomic Symbol
NaName Origin
Medieval Latin: sodanum, (headache remedy); symbol from Latin natrium, (sodium carbonate).Sources
Obtained by electrolysis of melted sodium chloride (salt), borax and cryolite.Uses
There are few uses for the pure metal, however its compounds are used in medicine, agriculture and photography. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Liquid sodium is sometimes used to cool nuclear reactors.Want to learn more details and data about Sodium (Na)? Check my Elements Comprehensive List.
