Solid sodium combines with solution of magnesium fluoride to form sodium fluoride solution and magnesium metal.

Solid sodium combines with solution of magnesium fluoride to form sodium fluoride solution and magnesium metal is adding hydrochloric acid into form magnesium chloride solution and hydrogen gas. A solution could be copper oxide is combined with solid carbon. This forms copper metal and carbon dioxide gas.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
