Some elements from the periodic table are listed in the table below. What is the correct order, from least to greatest, of the atomic numbers of these elements?

Your answer:

hydrogen, carbon, neon, nitrogen


neon, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen


hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, neon


carbon, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen

Answer 1

C). Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, neon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Atomic numbers are described as the number of protons in an atom's nucleus which is denoted by the letter Z. The correct order of the atomic number of the given elements from low to high would be 'Hydrogen, Carbon, Nitrogen, Neon.' The atomic number of hydrogen is 1 while carbon's atomic number is 6. Nitrogen's atomic number is 7 and Neon is a noble gas having an atomic number of 10. This order is correctly displayed through option C and hence, it is the answer.
