Option No. 1 at the cathode in both an electrolytic cell and a voltaic cell
Negative ion arrives at the anode, attracted by electrostatic forces, where they lose electrons. Loss of electrons is defined as oxidation.
The reverse process occur at the negative electrode, where positive ions pick up electrons. They are reduced.
The ionization energies (kJ/mol) of hydrogen, nitrogen, sodium, chlorine, and fluorine are 1,312, 1,402, 496, 1,256, and 1,681,

Answer: Sodium will most likely to become a monoatomic ion with fluorine when these atoms interact.
Explanation:
Ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral gaseous atom.
With increase in atomic size of the atom, there will be less force of attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons of the atom. Hence, with lesser amount of energy the valence electrons can be removed.
More is the value of ionization energy more it is difficult to remove an electron. Therefore, lesser is the reactivity of element.
Hence, we can conclude that sodium will most likely to become a monoatomic ion with fluorine when these atoms interact.
Chemical reaction is elements react with each other so you can mix them
