1 .HYDROGEN: Hydrogen is a chemical element. It
has the symbol H and atomic number 1. It has a
standard atomic weight of 1.008, meaning it is the
lightest element in the periodic table.Hydrogen is the
most common chemical element in the Universe,
making up 75% of all normal (baryonic) matter (by
mass). Most stars are mostly hydrogen. Hydrogen's
most common isotope has one proton with one
electron orbiting around it.Hydrogen is classed as a
reactive nonmetal, unlike the other elements appearing
in the first column of the periodic table, which are
classed alkali metals. The solid form of hydrogen is
expected to behave like a metal, however. When alone,
hydrogen usually binds with itself to make dihydrogen
(H2). At standard temperature and pressure, this
hydrogen gas (H2) has no colour, smell or taste. It is
not toxic. It is a nonmetal and burns very easily
2. HELIUM:
Helium (from Greek: ἥλιος, romanized: Helios, lit. '
Sun') is a chemical element with
the symbol He and atomic number 2. It is a
colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-
toxic, inert, monatomic gas, the first in the noble
gas group in the periodic table. Its boiling point is
the lowest among all the elements. Helium is the
second lightest and second most abundant
element in the observableuniverse (hydrogen is
the lightest and most abundant). It is present at
about 24% of the total elemental mass, which is
more than 12 times the mass of all the heavier
elements combined. Its abundance is similar to
this in both the Sun and in Jupiter.
3. LITHIUM:
Lithium (from Greek: λίθος, Romanized: lithos, lit 'stone')
is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic
number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal.
Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the
lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is
highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored
in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but
moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then
black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in
compounds, such as pegmatite minerals, which were once
the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an ion,
it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained
from brines. Lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from
a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.
4. BERYLLIUM: Beryllium is a chmical
elemente with the symbol Be and atomic number 4. It is
a relatively rare element in the universe, usually
occurring as a product of the spallation of larger atomic
nuclei that have collided with cosmic rays. Within the
cores of stars, beryllium is depleted as it is fused into
heavier elements. It is a divalent element which occurs
naturally only in combination with other elements in
minerals. Notable gemstones which contain beryllium
include beryl (aquamarine, emerald) and chrysoberyl.
As a free element it is a steel-gray, strong, lightweight
and brittle alkaline earth metal.
5. BORON: Boron is a chemical element with
the symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced
entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae
and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-
abundance element in the Solar System and in
the Earth's crust. It constitutes about 0.001 percent
by weight of Earth's crust. Boron is concentrated on
Earth by the water-solubility of its more common
naturally occurring compounds, the borate minerals.
These are mined industrially as evaporites, such
as borax and kernite. The largest known boron
deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron
minerals.
6. CARBON:
Carbon (from Latin: carbo "coal") is
a chemical element with
the symbol C and atomic number 6. It
is nonmetallic and tetravalent—making
four electrons available to
form covalent chemical bonds. It belongs
to group 14 of the periodic table. Carbon
makes up only about 0.025 percent of
Earth's crust. Three isotopes occur
naturally, C and C being stable, while C is
a radionuclide, decaying with a half-life of
about 5,730 years. Carbon is one of
the few elements known since antiquity.
7. NITROGEN: Nitrogen is the chemical element with
the symbol N and atomic number 7. It was first discovered and
isolated by Scottish physicianDaniel Rutherford in 1772.
Although Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Henry Cavendish had
independently done so at about the same time, Rutherford is
generally accorded the credit because his work was published
first. The name nitrogène was suggested by French
chemist Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal in 1790 when it was
found that nitrogen was present in nitric
acid and nitrates.Antoine Lavoisier suggested instead the
name azote, from the Greek ἀζωτικός "no life", as it is
an asphyxiant gas; this name is instead used in many
languages, such
as French, Italian, Russian, Romanian and Turkish, and appears
in the English names of some nitrogen compounds such
as hydrazine, azides and azo compounds.
8. OXYGEN: Oxygen is a chemical
element. It has the symbol O and atomic
number 8. It is the third most
common element in the universe, after
hydrogen and helium. Oxygen makes
up more than a fifth of the Earth's
atmosphere by volume. In the air, two
oxygen atoms usually bind to make
dioxygen (O2), a colourless gas. This
gas is often just called oxygen. It has
no taste or smell. It is pale blue when it
is liquid or solid.
9. FLUORINE: Fluorine is
a chemical element with
the symbol F and atomic
number 9. It is the
lightest halogen and exists as
a highly toxic pale
yellow diatomic gas
at standard conditions. As
the
most electronegative element
, it is extremely reactive, as it
reacts with all other
elements, except
for argon, neon, and helium.
10.NEON: Neon is a chemical element with
the symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is a noble
gas. Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic
gas under standard conditions, with about two-thirds
the density of air. It was discovered (along
with krypton and xenon) in 1898 as one of the three
residual rare inert elements remaining in dry air,
after nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon
dioxide were removed. Neon was the second of these
three rare gases to be discovered and was
immediately recognized as a new element from its
bright red emission spectrum. The name neon is
derived from the Greek word, νέον, neuter singular
form of νέος, meaning new. Neon is chemically inert,
and no uncharged neon compounds are known.
The compounds of neon currently known include
ionic molecules, molecules held together by van der
Waals forces and catharses.
