The statements you've provided contain a few inaccuracies regarding the periodic table and the relationships between the elements mentioned. Here's a clarification:
1. **Indium (In) and Aluminum (Al) share a family (group):** This is correct. Both Indium and Aluminum are in Group 13 (III-A) of the periodic table, which contains other elements like Gallium (Ga) and Thallium (Tl).
2. **Sodium (Na) has similar characteristics to Sulfur (S):** This statement is misleading. Sodium (Na) is an alkali metal in Group 1, while Sulfur (S) is a non-metal in Group 16. They belong to different groups and exhibit very different chemical properties.
3. **Indium (In) and Aluminum (Al) have similar characteristics:** This is true. Being in the same group, they share similar properties, including being metals and having similar oxidation states.
4. **Sulfur (S) and Sodium (Na) share a period:** This statement is incorrect. Sodium is in Period 3, whereas Sulfur is in Period 3 as well, but they are in different groups. They do share the same period, but they do not have similar properties as elements in different groups typically have distinct characteristics.
In summary, only the statements about Indium and Aluminum sharing a family (group) and having similar characteristics are correct. Sodium and Sulfur do share a period, but they do not have similar characteristics due to being in different groups.
