Fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), and bromine (Br) can all react easily to form compounds with sodium (Na). Which other element could most likely react to form a compound with sodium?
A.
gold (Au)
B.
iodine (I)
C.
magnesium (Mg)
D.
potassium (K)

Respuesta :

Answer: It would be iodine because first of all, all of the elements listed are in the halogens column and iodine is too.

Secondly, halogens have one electron to fill and alkaline metals( the column that sodium is in) have one electron to give, so they work well together to have a full valence shell.

Answer:

B Iodine

Explanation:

Columns in the periodic table are also called families or groups. Elements in the same group of the periodic table tend to have similar properties. This includes the types of reactions that they can undergo. Since iodine is in group 17 with the other halogens, (fluorine, chlorine, and bromine), it will most likely be able to react in a similar way.

Hope this helps have a great day <3
