Answer:

Na and Li. (but see below).

Step-by-step explanation:

Sodium and Lithium are in Group 1 of the Periodic Table .

They have 1 electron in their valence shell which is easily lost to produce Na1+ and Li1+ ions.

The Na atom is more reactive than the Li so if you are looking for 1 answer it is Na.
