Which of following explains the location of oxygen on the periodic table?

• It has one more proton than nitrogen, so it is located after nitrogen, and it is a metal, so it is located on the right side of the periodic table.

• It has one less proton than nitrogen, so it is located after nitrogen, and it is a non-metal, so it is located on the right side of the periodic table.

• It has one more proton than nitrogen, so it is located after nitrogen, and it is a non-metal, so it located on the right side of the periodic table.

• It has one less proton than nitrogen, so it is located after nitrogen, and it is a metal, so it is located on the right side of the periodic table.
