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 basis in nature while those of elements E and F acidic. The oxide of element D is, however, almost neutral. Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
