Answer:

So, the elements with similar properties to sodium (Na) are all of those elements in the same Group.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ones "most" similar would be the ones closest in mass as well. Those would be Lithium (Li) and Potassium (K).

Answer:A) N and P

Step-by-step explanation:

N and P, because they are in the same group on the periodic table. This is because they both have 3 valence electrons, and properties of elements are dependent partly on the number of valence electrons they have.
