How many metals are present in second period of periodic table?

The second period of the periodic table consists of eight elements: Lithium ($\text{Li}$), Beryllium ($\text{Be}$), Boron ($\text{B}$), Carbon ($\text{C}$), Nitrogen ($\text{N}$), Oxygen ($\text{O}$), Fluorine ($\text{F}$), and Neon ($\text{Ne}$).

• Lithium ($\text{Li}$) and Beryllium ($\text{Be}$) are metals (alkali metal and alkaline earth metal respectively).
• Boron ($\text{B}$) is a metalloid.
• Carbon ($\text{C}$), Nitrogen ($\text{N}$), Oxygen ($\text{O}$), Fluorine ($\text{F}$), and Neon ($\text{Ne}$) are non-metals.

Therefore, there are only $2$ metals in the second period.
