The event was attended by Deputy Commissioner Islamabad Hamza Shafaqat and KPK Education Minister Shahram Khan Tarakai. Najam accomplished the feat by breaking the record previously held by another Pakistani girl Natalia Najam who completed the same task in 2 minutes and 42 seconds.

The periodic table is a tabular array of the chemical elements organized by atomic number, from the element with the lowest atomic number, hydrogen, to the element with the highest atomic number, Oganesson. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.
