These elements belong to different Physical and chemical properties , which means they have different and different . Sodium is an metal while neon is a gas.

Check explanation section.

Explanation:

Yes, that is true. Sodium with chemical symbol Na belongs to the group 1 on the periodic table. Group 1 elements are known as Alkali metals. Other elements in the group are Caesium, lithium, Rubidium, francium and potassium.

Neon belongs to the noble gas of group 8/0.

Sodium is very reactive and and good conductor of electricity. Sodium reacts with water for the production of hydrogen (NB: this reaction is vigorous).

2Na(s) + 2H2O > 2NaOH + H2(g).

They can react with nonmetals such as the halogens. For instance;

Na + Cl2 > 2NaCl.

Sodium is ductile and have low melting point( but high compared to neon).

Neon is not active chemically and it has no odour and no color
