Answer:

Period 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Periods are the horizontal rows in the periodic table. They contain elements with the same number of electron shells. Period 1 has just two elements which are hydrogen (H) and helium (He). These two elements are gases at stp.

Hydrogen is a diatomic element that exist as gas at STP while helium is a monoatomic element that exist as a gas at STP. Hydrogen is found in group 1 and period 1 of the periodic table. Helium is found in the group zero of the periodic table - elements in group zero are called noble/rare/inert gases. Though, helium has just two electrons, its two electrons however completely fill its one and outermost shell which makes it "eligible" to be in the group zero.
