failed

Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the Phase of Matter for Each Element
  • Sodium (Na): Solid
  • Neon (Ne): Gas
  • Copper (Cu): Solid
  • Calcium (Ca): Solid
Step 2: Determine the Metal or Non-metal Status
  • Sodium (Na): Metal
  • Neon (Ne): Non-metal (Noble gas)
  • Copper (Cu): Metal
  • Calcium (Ca): Metal
Step 3: Identify the Element That Is Clearly Not a Metal
  • Neon (Ne) is the element that is clearly not a metal.

Final Answer

The correct answer is B.
