Answer:

Carbon (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify an element on the period table, you can use its atomic number—or its number of protons.

The atomic number of an element is located in the upper left-hand corner of each square in the periodic table. Refer to IMAGE.A for more info.

If you look at the periodic table, you can spot carbon in the nonmetals.

Carbon's upper left-hand corner has a 6. Refer to IMAGE.B for more info.
