Solution

Atoms Mass No. Atomic No. Electronic configuration Name of the element

A 40 20 2,8,8,2 Calcium

B 19 9 2,7 Fluorine

C 7 3 2,1 Lithium

D 16 8 2,6 Oxygen

E 14 7 2,5 Nitrogen

Atomic Number = The elements are arranged in order of increasing the number of protons in the nucleus.

Atomic no. = Total number of protons

Mass Number - The number of protons and neutrons combine to give us the mass number of an atom.

Mass no. = No. of protons + No. of neutrons

Metals - a solid material that is typically hard, shiny, malleable, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity.

(i) Metals – Lithium, Calcium

The Natural materials that do not produce heat or electricity and that are structurally brittle are called non-metals.

(ii) Non-metals – Fluorine, Oxygen, Nitrogen
