I can’t see the table you mention. Please paste its contents or a photo.

Meanwhile, here are quick ways to identify which of those four elements it is, depending on what the table shows:

- If the table gives atomic number:
- 7 → Nitrogen (N)
- 14 → Silicon (Si)
- 15 → Phosphorus (P)
- 16 → Sulfur (S)

- If it gives valence electrons and period:
- Period 2, 5 valence electrons → Nitrogen (N)
- Period 3, 4 valence electrons → Silicon (Si)
- Period 3, 5 valence electrons → Phosphorus (P)
- Period 3, 6 valence electrons → Sulfur (S)

- If it gives electron configuration:
- 1s2 2s2 2p3 → N
- 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p2 → Si
- …3s2 3p3 → P
- …3s2 3p4 → S

Send the table and I’ll give the exact answer.
