Atoms of eight elements A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H have the same number of electron shells but different number of electrons in their outermost shells. It was found that elements A and G combine to form an ionic compound. This ionic compound is added in a small amount to almost all vegetables and dishes during cooking. Oxides of elements A and B are basic in nature while those of elements E and F are acidic. The oxide of element D is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
  1. To which group or period of the periodic table do these elements belong?
  2. What would be the nature of compound formed by a combination of elements B and F?
  3. Which two of these elements could definitely be metals?

An organic compound $A$ having the molecular formula $C _3 H _8 O$ is a liquid at room temperature. The organic liquid $A$ reacts with sodium metal to evolve a gas which burns causing a little explosion. When the organic liquid A heated with concentrated sulphuric acid at $170^{\circ} C$, it forms a compound $B$ which decolourizes bromine water. The compound $B$ adds on one molecule of hydrogen in the presence of Ni as catalyst to forms compound C which gives substitution reactions with chlorine.
