Answer:

They both have Four electron shells

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The periodic table arranges elements into columns called groups and rows called periods.
  • Elements in the same group share similar chemical and physical properties.
  • For example, elements in group 1 called alkali metals have similar properties. They include sodium, lithium, and potassium among others.
  • On the other hand elements in the same period have the same number of energy levels or electron shells. For example, elements in period 4 have four energy levels.
