Teacher: Given a scientific passage and an answer, generate a question for the given answer.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following example:
Passage: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more nucleotides that changes the reading frame of the base sequence. Deletions remove nucleotides, and insertions add nucleotides. Consider the following sequence of bases in RNA:. Answer: nucleotides.
Solution: A frameshift mutation is a deletion or insertion of one or more of what that changes the reading frame of the base sequence?
Reason: The science passage defines frame mutation and the main compoment here is nucleotides. Hence the generated question is apt.

Now, solve this instance: Passage: The increase in electrons across the periodic table explains why elements go from metals to metalloids and then to nonmetals from left to right across the table. Look at period 2 in Figure below as an example. Lithium (Li) is a metal, boron (B) a metalloid, and fluorine (F) and neon (Ne) are nonmetals. The inner energy level is full for all four elements. This level has just one orbital and can hold a maximum of two electrons. The outer energy level is a different story. This level has four orbitals and can hold a maximum of eight electrons. Lithium has just one electron in this level, boron has three, fluorine has seven, and neon has eight. Answer: electrons
Student:
An increase in what, across the periodic table, explains why elements go from metals to metalloids and then to nonmetals?
