1) The alkali metals (Hanifah's group) can form -3 ions as they only need to lose one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration.
2) The alkali metal sodium (Na) is the most generous element as it readily loses its single valence electron.
3) Based on its ability to gain two electrons to achieve an octet, nickel (Ni) should be placed in group 10 along with other transition metals.

That periodic table is supposedly half of the periodic table from an imaginary parallel universe. The elements in that universe behave similarly with the ones in our universe (hence Helen and her group members are the Noble gases, Hanifah and her group are Alkali metals, and so on). Sekar (S), Rani (Ra), and Assyifa (As) are metalloids, the ones in the left are metals while the ones in the right are non-metals. With that in mind, please discuss and answer the following questions with reasonable explanation. 1. Which elements can form a -3 ions? 2. Which element is the most generous one (easy to give away electron)? 3. Naila (Ni) is another element in that universe. It has some of metal properties, but it can also take 2 electrons to follow the octet rule. In which group should we put Ni in that periodic table? 4. The melting points of one group is 964 °C, 813 °C, and 690 °C. Which group could be the owner of those melting points? 5. Which element has the highest ionization energy? 6. The boiling point of Laili (Li) is around 1200 °C while the boiling point of Khansa (K) is around 800 °C. From those data, how high is the boiling point of Nazwa (Na)? 7. The atomic radius of Faira (Fa), Melina (Me), Aqila (Aq), and Rhaina (Rh) are 200 pm, 120 pm, 100 pm, and 80 pm respectively. By those data, make a smart guess about the atomic radius of Jasmine (J), Assyifa (As), and Propa (Pr).
