Questions asked by users might not always be phrased in the clearest way.
The correct order of the elements, ranked by increasing number of protons (atomic number) is:
1. He (Helium) - Atomic number 2
2. Zn (Zinc) - Atomic number 30
3. AI (Aluminum) - Atomic number 13
4. Rn (Radon) - Atomic number 86
This is because the number of protons in an atom defines its atomic number, which is the fundamental characteristic of an element.
