Hey mate ☺️

Na (sodium)

Explanation :

The given formula is XCl. Here we can see that there is 1 X atom for 1 Cl atom.

When an ionic compound is formed, electrons are transferred from a metal atom to a non metal atom.

This results in the formation of a cation and anion. In the formula, the charges on cation and anion balance each other.

The formula given to us is XCl. that means the charge on X and Cl should balance each other.

The charge on Cl is known, therefore we can find out the charge on metal ion X that would balance the charge on Cl.

The charge on Cl ion is -1 . In order to have a neutral compound, the charge on metal ion should be +1.

the only option that has a metal atom with +1 charge is option Na.

Charge on Na is +1 and therefore it combines with Cl⁻ to form NaCl.

The element that is present in the same group as X is Na.

Hope it helps you ☺️✌️✌️
