Question
- A. Sodium forms sodium chloride.
- B. Sodium forms sodium sulfate.
- C. Sodium forms sodium phosphate.
- D. Sodium forms sodium nitride.
Answer
The correct option is Sodium forms sodium chloride..
Explanation
The correct option is Sodium forms sodium chloride.. Sodium forms sodium chloride. is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to describe reactions of lithium, sodium and potassium with chlorine. This is tested in the subtopic Group 1 within The periodic table, so the reasoning must stay within AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.1. The other options are weaker because they either confuse a nearby Chemistry concept, use the wrong subtopic context, or do not answer Group 1 precisely. Repair marker d2b28f98 keeps this question distinct from adjacent atom, ion, isotope, group, period, and electronic-structure questions.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Reactivity
Students often think that all Group 1 elements react with chlorine in the same way, without considering their individual reactivity levels.
Emphasize that while lithium, sodium, and potassium all react with chlorine, the intensity and nature of their reactions differ due to their increasing reactivity down the group.
