Too much for a simple answer on WikiAnswers !
Please read an introductory treatise on inorganic chemistry.
The first 20 elements of the periodic table include hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, sodium, magnesium, aluminum, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, chlorine, argon, potassium, and calcium. They exhibit a wide range of properties including reactivity, atomic size, and physical state at room temperature. These elements play essential roles in various chemical reactions and biological processes.

Yes that is true for the first 20 elements, except helium and hydrogen which needs 2 valance electrons to be complete. After 20, things change, but we don't need to worry about it at the basic level.
Cobalt and Nickel are the two elements from the first 20 elements of the periodic table that are not arranged in order of increasing atomic mass. This is due to the placement of cobalt with a slightly lower atomic mass compared to nickel, which occurs due to the meticulous arrangement of elements based on their chemical properties and not just atomic masses.

Phosphorus, which is the 15th element, has the most unpaired electrons among the first 20 elements. It has three unpaired electrons in its outer shell.
Carbon (C) has the highest melting point out of all the elements, and so, as it's in the first 20 elements, it has the highest melting point of the first 20 elements too. Its melting point is 3823K.
Dalton only listed 20 elements in his table because in his atomic theory, he believed that all elements could be explained in terms of simple ratios of the first 20 elements. At the time, only 20 elements were known and studied in depth, so Dalton's table reflected the knowledge available to him.
Well i think that will be boron according to the first 20 elements.
Conductors in the first twenty elements include; Lithium - Li Beryllium - Be Carbon - C Sodium - Na Magnesium - Mg Silicon - Si Potassium - K Calcium - Ca
The oxidation numbers for the first 20 elements in the periodic table are typically as follows: Group 1 elements: +1; Group 2 elements: +2; Group 13 elements: +3; Group 14 elements: +4 or -4; Group 15 elements: -3; Group 16 elements: -2; Group 17 elements: -1; Group 18 elements: 0. Keep in mind that oxidation numbers can vary in different compounds and contexts.
By 1869, a total of 63 elements had been discovered.
