Silvery-white element; symbol Na (6)

I believe the answer is:

sodium

(Other definitions for sodium that I've seen before include "Metal found in salt water, Na" , "Common salt is ...... chloride" , "... is its atomic number: symbol Na" , "It occurs in sea water" , "Element discovered by Humphry Davy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
