A neutral sodium atom is likely to achieve an octet in its outermost shell by losing its one valence electron. The cation produced in this way is \mathrm{Na}^{+}, having electronic configuration \mathrm{ [Ne] 3 s^0} which means there is no unpaired electron. Hence, \mathrm{Na} is diamagnetic in its existing ion form.
