Answer #1

answer is (a)

Sodium and potassium are alkali metals and are not found freely in nature as they are highly reactive. They form electrovalent bond but do not take part in hydrogen bonding. Sodium occurs as salt (NaCl) in nature as solid and Zeolites in cationic form and potassium occur as cation in blood.
