Which of the following explains the location of nitrogen the periodic table?

a)

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

b)

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

c)

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

d)

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