2. Nitrogen is a non-metal which is used in making fertilisers to enhance the growth of plants.
3. Chlorine is a non-metal which is used in the water-purification process.
4. Iodine is used to make 'tincture of iodine' which is used as an antiseptic.
5. Carbon is used as a fuel.

Carbon is used in nanotube and buckyball technology, graphite for pencils, graphene for water filters and more! Nitrogen is used for vehicle airbags (sodium azide), explsoives (TNT), and super-cooling food (liquid nitrogen). Oxygen’s compounds are used for a variety of things including the production of steel and oxygen therapy. Phosphorus is used on the side of matchboxes (50% red phosphorus) and as a deadly weapon (white phosphorus). Sulphur is used for the vulcanization of rubber and gunpowder. Selenium, sometimes considered a semi-metal, is used in rectifiers for old electronics and anti-dandruff shampoo (selenium sulphide)!
