Valence lithium sodium do they react in similar ways?

They both have a valency of 1 as their atoms all have 1 electron in the outermost orbits. (lithiium's electronic structure is 2,1, sodium 2,8,1) Because of this Lithium and sodium react very similarly. They both react quickly in air (and therefore have to be stored in oil to protect them). They both react vigorously with water producing hydrogen and forming an alkaline solution. They both burn with coloured flames - lithium red and sodium yellow. Thee are several other metals all belonging to the same 'family' - the group 1 elements or 'alkali metals'. Others include Potassium, Rubidium and Caesium.


What are to two element that have properties similar to those of the element sodium?

Lithium and potassium has same properties as sodium.They are alkali metals.They are placed in group-1.The elements of the same group have same chemical properties. Li and K are the elements above and below Na in the period. So they have same properties as sodium.

What are the are the sodium relatives?

By relatives, I am assuming that you mean elements in the same family. The metals that are related to sodium are lithium, potassium, rubidium, caesium and francium


Which other elements contain the same number of outer electrons as sodium?

Lithium, Rubidium, Cesium, Francium.


Is sodium similar to lithium?

Sodium and Lithium are in the same group in the periodic table and tend to have similar properties, for example, adding a small amount to water will result in a "fizzing" type of reaction. Other elements in this group such as caesium react with water in a similar fashion only far more violently.
