Explanation:
Methane is an alkane. The commonest chemical reaction that alkanes undergo is substitution. During a substitution reaction, one or more atoms of hydrogen is/are replaced in the alkane.
In methane, in the presence of sunlight and molecular chlorine gas, a homolytic fission of Cl2 occurs to yield chlorine radicals in an initiation step.
The propagation steps involve reaction of the methane with chlorine radicals. Certain intermediates continue to be formed along the way until the tetrachlorination product is finally obtained.

Explanation:
Elements that are in the same group will definitely possess similar characteristics because they tend to have the same valence electron which determines their reactivity.
On a periodic table, elements in the same group can be found arranged on the same column in the periodic table.
Therefore the two elements that have similar characteristics are those two elements you can see on the same column in group 2. See the two elements indicated in the attachment below.
