The elements of the periodic table have similar properties in?
The answer is SOMETIMES. Look in the 3rd period of the periodic table. Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) both fall into the "metal" category, and therefore share the same properties. Such as:Conducting heat and electricityBeing malleable and ductileBeing solid at room temperature.HOWEVER, when comparing Sodium (Na) to Argon (Ar), which are both in the same period, you are then comparing the properties of a METAL (Sodium) to a NONMETAL (Argon). Metals and nonmetals could not be more different = different properties.Sorry for the long answer.
What two elements in the periodic table have similar properties?
element in a group exibhit more or less same properties some of them have more things and some have less as they are dependent on the valency in the outermst shell of the elctrons so that they acn become reactive ,metal non metals etc
What element has properties similar to those of tellurium?
All the others members of the Alkali metal group have similar properties to Lithium. These are Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium and Francium.
Is sodium a transition element?
Sodium is an Alkali metal. Elements in the center of the periodic table are transition metals.
What is the difference between sodium and sulfur?
Sodium and sulfur are two distinct elements that are located in the third period in the periodic table. Sodium is a metal and sulfur is a non metal.

How do you that sodium is a metal?
LOL!!! i believe you meant to say "How do you know that sodium is a metal?" Well there are certain properties that classify it as a metal, for insance first column of the periodic table, It just is, google it. loled at google it ^ hahaha

What type of medal is sodium?
Sodium is included as a alkali metal in the modern periodic table.
Why potassium chloride can be used as a substitute for sodium chloride?
Potassium and sodium are categorised under the same group which is Group 1 in the Periodic Table of Elements which consists of alkali metal. Therefore potassium and sodium possess the same chemical properties.
