Sodium (Na) and Argon (Ar) on the periodic table does not have similar properties.

PERIODIC TABLE:

Periodic table is the organized table that showcases the position of elements. The periodic table is organized into groups and periods.

Groups of the periodic table is in a vertical format labeled 1 - 7 while the period is in a horizontal format labeled 1 - 7.

Elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons and hence, possess similar chemical properties.

Sodium (Na) belongs to group 1 while argon is a noble gas, hence, they are not in the same group of the periodic table and cannot have same properties.
