The correct answer would be inductive reasoning.

This is a law because it describes the force but makes not attempt to explain how the force works. A theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon. Einstein's General Theory of Relativity explains how gravity works by describing gravity as the effect of curvature of four dimensional spacetime.
What exactly is the question you are asking?
Prepare a 1% copper sulfate solution. To make this solution, weigh 1 gram of copper sulfate (CuSO4 ·5H2O), dissolve in a small amount of distilled water in a 100 ml volumetric flask and bring to volume. Label this as 1% copper sulfate solution.
Answer is: Cl and Na.
sodium and chlorine are in third period and they have very different properties. Sodium is solid metal and chlorine is gaseous nonmetal.
They form compound NaCl (Sodium chloride), because sodium lost one valence electron and form cation Na⁺, chlorine gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻.
Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.
Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.
Other examples are metal-metal pairs and they do not form cation and anion.
