The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.
The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.
So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.

Answer:
Positive charges are eliminated by creating lithium vacancies, and for every Ca2+ ion added, a single lithium vacancy is formed.
Explanation:
The addition of calcium oxide as an impurity to lithium oxide creates an interstices due to the replacement of the Lithium ion by calcium ion. The creation of interstices is as a result of the replacement of the positive ions (Lithium by calcium). To make the reaction neutral, these replacements must occur when the interstices are formed
