Solution

The correct option is D
Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.

Statement : If equal masses of sodium metal and chlorine gas are allowed to react, some sodium will be left over after all the chlorine is used up.
The molar mass of chlorine is higher than the molar mass of sodium. Hence, for equal masses, the number of moles of chlorine will be smaller than the number of moles of sodium.
Statement 2 : The reaction required twice as many atoms of sodium as the molecules of chlorine.
$2 N a + C l_{2} \to 2 N a C l$
Statement 1 is correct but Statement 2 is not correct.
