Your machine has plenty of speed and memory for Lubuntu. It would be
insufficient for the main Ubuntu version, or for Kubuntu possibly.
Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Mate, and probably UbuntuStudio should work
fine on it. I prefer Lubuntu.
It's probably best to install Lubuntu 15.10, and upgrade to 16.04 this
spring.
To install, create a live (bootable) USB drive. Use UNetBootin (you'll
have to install it) to create the bootable USB. The live USB creator
provided (Startup Disk Creator) is notoriously unreliable.

I have a similar HP NetBook (same memory & processor). Its
processor is Intel Atom, dual core, 1.6 gigahertz speed.
That machine works fine with Lubuntu (the ordinary version - not a
special version). The machine has plenty of power for Lubuntu,
and also works fine with Ubuntu Mate.
Where it doesn't have a CD or DVD drive, it has to be installed
using a live USB, and you can't play DVDs or CDs on it.
It works fine with all of the usages you mentioned (as well as
audio/MIDI music). I use Firefox for browsing on it. I don't use
FaceBook, so I can't vouch for that. I haven't actually used
LibreOffice on it, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work
on it.
The biggest challenge with that machine (in my experience) is its
small screen dimensions. The ability of Linux to allow you to
hold-down the Alt-key, then click anywhere in the window to drag
the window to a new position sometimes can be useful, or even vital.
P.S. - Not all of us are 'Sir'.
