Sodium is an alkali metal, and it is from Group 1 on the Periodic Table. That group is the vertical column down the far left side of the periodic table. The elements in that group are hydrogen (H), lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). Wikipedia has a nice post on this group of elements, those in Group 1 of the periodic table, and a link is provided to the post. You'll find that link below.

What is chemical formula for sodium acetate and potassium bromide?
NaC2H3O2and KBr
What are three elements in the first family?
Lithium, sodium and potassium are all in the first family.
Are salt and potassium examples of electrolytes?
Salt (sodium chloride) is an electrolyte in water solutions or when is melted. Potassium is a chemical element.
Does sodium belong in the alkaline earth family?
Sodium is an alkali metal - group 1 of the periodic table.
What chemical compounds are contained in corn?
Oils resin tannin glucose potassium sodium phosphorus sulphur
What is potassium and sodium chemical formula?
Chemical symbol of sodium: NaChemical symbol of potassium: KSymbol, not formulae.
Is sodium and potassium react violently with water a chemical change?
Sodium and potassium reacting violently with water is a chemical reaction, causing a chemical change.
Is there a chemical reaction if potassium chloride is mixed with sodium chloride?
No chemical reaction, only a solution containing ions of potassium, sodium and chlorine.
What chemical will burn violently when mixed with water but not with kerosene?
sodium, sodium potassium, potassium lithium, lithium aluminum hydride
Abbreviations for sodium chloride and potassium electrolytes?
The chemical formula (not abbreviation) of sodium chloride is NaCl.
Why is it imposible for sodium to unite chemically with potassium?
Sodium and Potassium belong to group one of the Periodic table. They both contain one electron in their outer shell. They form a chemical bond by donating the outer shell electron to another atom. The other atom will tend to accept electrons rather than donate them. Since sodium and potassium both donate electrons they cannot form a chemical bond with each other.
What is the difference between sodium nitrate and sodium bicarbonate?
Sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO3, potassium carbonate is KHCO3. The difference is that sodium and potassium are two different elements, though they have very similar properties. Potassium bicarbonate is more soluble in water.
What are the family characteristics of sodium?
Potassium and lithium.
Which element has chemical properties that are most similar to the chemical properties of sodium?
Potassium. Sodium is in group1 (period2) the next heaviest element is potassium (period 3). Potassium forms salts with the K+ ion.
