Answer 1

I gotta say it's D cause all of those all react differently towards another chemical.

Answer 2

Sodium is a shiny, soft metal that reacts explosively with water. Chlorine is a poisonous, greenish gas. Sodium chloride is a white crystal that is essential to life.

The properties of sodium, chlorine, and sodium chloride can be described as follows:

Sodium (Na): Shiny, soft, solid metal with a boiling point of 883°C. It reacts explosively with water.

Chlorine (CI): Greenish gas with a boiling point of -34°C. It is extremely poisonous and corrosive.

Sodium Chloride (NaCl): White crystals that do not react with water. It is essential to life.

Thus, the statement that best describes the properties of sodium, chlorine, and sodium chloride is Option C: All have similar chemical and physical properties.
