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 else can I help you with?
Why is it imposible for sodium to unite chemically with potasium?
both sodium and potassium ions have a +1 valence state.
Why is it impossible for sodium to unite chemically with potassium?
Because both sodium and potassium have one electron in their outermost shells, and they need to donate these electrons to become stable. In other words, both of these elements will become positive ions, and neither will accept an electron from the other. They need to bond with atoms which need another electron to fill its outer shell, such as cholorine. Both sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium chloride (KCl) exist because chlorine will accept the extra electrons from sodium or potassium atoms. Bottom line: you cannot bond two atoms that both need to lose electrons to become stable because neither will accept the extra electron from the other.
