Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the position of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) on the periodic table. Sodium is in group 1 and chlorine is in group 17.
Determine the period (horizontal row) in which both elements are located. Both sodium and chlorine are in period 3.
Analyze the number of valence electrons for each element. Sodium has 1 valence electron, while chlorine has 7 valence electrons.
Classify each element by type: sodium is a metal (alkali metal), and chlorine is a nonmetal (halogen).
Compare the options given and conclude that the property they share is being elements in the same period of the periodic table.
