      • A corresponds to Nitrogen (atomic number 7).
      • B corresponds to Phosphorus (atomic number 15).
    2. Group 16: This group contains elements with atomic numbers 8 (Oxygen), 16 (Sulfur), 34 (Selenium), and 52 (Tellurium).

      • C corresponds to Oxygen (atomic number 8).
      • D corresponds to Sulfur (atomic number 16).
    3. Group 17: This group contains elements with atomic numbers 9 (Fluorine), 17 (Chlorine), 35 (Bromine), and 53 (Iodine).

      • E corresponds to Fluorine (atomic number 9).
    Correct Order:
