Answer:
B
Explanation:
We are talking about the periodic table in which elements where put under different rows and columns according to their atomic number (number of protons) in ascendant order.
In rows or periods we can find trends in some properties like atomic radius, electronegativity, etc...). So they are not similar in size. Option A is a false statement.
Also, they were organized in groups or columns according to their similar electronic configuration and chemical properties (like noble gases, halogens, etc...) This means option B is the correct statement.
Metallic sodium and chlorine gas are produced by the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride.
<h3>What is a word equation?</h3>
A word equation represents a chemical reaction using the names of the substances involved.
a) Word equation:
Sodium chloride + electrolysis → Sodium hydroxide + Hydrogen gas, Chlorine gas
b) The following reactions take place during the electrolysis of brine solution :
NaCl =
=
Now there are two cations and two anions which get discharged in the following way :
At cathode :
= 
At anode:
=
The remaining ions
= NaOH
That's why we get
,
and NaOH.
c) Balance each equation is:
2NaCl (l) → 2Na(s) +
(g)
