Physical Properties of Period 2 Elements
Elements to the left of period 2 are metals, those to the right are non-metals. The elements on the right, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon all have low melting points and are all non-metals.

A non-metal in period having electronic configuration is Oxygen.
Explanation:
- Non-metals are elements that gain electrons and are electronegative in nature.
- The elements that are present at the top right hand side of the periodic table are non-metals.
- These belong to the p block elements.
- Semimetals show both metallic and non-metallic character.
- Carbon,oxygen and sulphur are nonmetals that belongs to p block.
- Oxygen belongs to the second period and its atomic number is eight.
- Hence the electronic configuration of oxygen will be .
- So the non-metal in period two having the given configuration is oxygen.
