Choose the most correct statement from the options below. Be sure to consult the periodic table.
Magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (Cl) are in the same GROUP and, so, share
SIMILAR physical and chemical properties.
Magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (CI) are in the same PERIOD and, so, share
SIMILAR physical and chemical properties.
Magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (CI) are in the same PERIOD and, so, will have
very DIFFERENT physical and chemical properties.
Magnesium (Mg) and chlorine (CI) are in the same GROUP and, so, share
DIFFERENT physical and chemical properties.

B

Explanation:

Mg and Cl are in the same row aka period. Elements in the same period have similar properties like electron shells so the second option is the best answer

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
