Riddle # 2 I am a highly effective electron donor, used in organic chemistry. You will find my 3 constituent elements  (2 metals & 1  non-metal) in the Ist  , II nd and III rd periods  of the periodic table. The non-metal one  has some properties of alkali metal. In an  organic compound having both C = C  & carbonyl functional groups, I can  selectively change one functional group to a new one. Questions (a)  What  are my constituent elements ? (b)  What is my name and formula ? (c)   Which functional group can I change        when both double bond and carbonyl         groups are present in an organic        compound ? (d)  What is the new functional group formed ?
