Sodium itself is neither an acid nor a base.

However, it will react with water to form the strong base sodium hydroxide.

No, sodium chlorate is not a weak base. It is actually a salt composed of sodium cations and chlorate anions, and it does not have properties of a base.

Sodium acetate is a strong base. The appearance is a white odorless powder, and it comes from a reaction between acetic acid with sodium carbonate.

Technically neither in metallic form. Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH, is a relatively strong base.
