+1
electron configuration of sodium is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1
Valence shell is 3s1 and contains only one electron!
Considering the valence electron configuration of sodium, +1 is the most likely charge produced by the ionization of sodium

Sodium has 11 electrons in total and the configuration is such that there is just 1 electron in the 3rd energy level.
This electron is easily ionized, so that the ion charge will be +1

The sodium has only one electron on shell M;
So, that element is likely to give this electron and losing one negative charge to become the Na+ ion with charge +1

+1, By losing one electron Na gets an inertgas configuration .
It is a stable configuration. So the most likely charge produced is one positive charge Or Na+.

+1
because it makes it a stable octet, it is harder to pull an electron of a positively charged ion, there are more shielding electrons to make it +1 and the the electron is furthest way form the nucleus
