Hey Mate!
Na ( Sodium) belongs to 1st group and 3rd period of the periodic table
K (Potassium) too belongs to 1st group but 4th period of the periodic table .
Now for your convenience Here is a trick
For elements belonging to same group the
NO. OF 'VALENCE ELECTRONS' IS SAME
But this condition only holds for elements of same group
For elements of same period The no. of shells remains same
Now to answer your question
Since Na and K belong to 1st group ( alkali metals)
They have same no. of valence electrons
NOTE :-
Isoelectronic species are those elements
( charged) which have same no. of protons
But Na and K do not have same no. of Protons
As
Na has atomic no. of 11 i.e, protons =11
K has atomic no. of 19 i.e, protons=19
Hence are not isoelectronic species
but do have same no. of valence electrons
