Interpretation :
The example of non-metals that are found in the gaseous state needs to be given.
Concept Introduction :
The periodic table is divided into two forms one is a vertical column and the other one is horizontal. The elements are differentiated as metals, non-metals and metalloids. The physical properties such as density, tensile nature, and conductors for heat and electricity help to explain about the metals and non-metals.

Answer to Problem 36A
Most of the non-metals in the periodic table are found in the gaseous state. Some of the examples are: nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, fluorine, oxygen, chlorine, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
Explanation of Solution
Non-metals are generally poor conductors of heat and electricity, and they are hard in nature.
The metals are generally found in a solid state. Most of the non-metals are found in a gaseous state, only bromine is present in a liquid state. Also, few are present in solid state like carbon, sulfur, iodine etc.
The examples of gaseous non-metals are nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, fluorine, oxygen, chlorine, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon.
The right side elements in the periodic table are termed as non-metals. There majority of the non-metallic elements are gaseous in state, only one non-metallic element is present in liquid which is bromine. Also, few are present in solid state like carbon, sulfur, iodine etc.

If there won't be any products, because nothing will happen under these reaction conditions, check the box under the drawing area instead. Note: if the products contain one or more pairs of enantiomers, don't worry about drawing each enantiomer with dash and wedge bonds.
