When liquids are subjected to lower temperatures, the kinetic energy of the molecules would decrease accordingly making them closer to each other and leading to a decrease in volume until the substance is solidified. Hope this answers the question.
A. Sodium is correct.
Sodium is an alkali metal.
Aluminum is a post-transitional metal- still a metal but it’s character is not as metallic as sodium.
Silicon is a metalloid- it has characteristics from both the metals and the non-metals.
Phosphorous is a non-metal.
