(a)
Interpretation:
The two non-metals that can form more than four bonds in the periodic table has to be located. The formula of a compound justifying the answer has to be written.
Concept introduction:
Non-metals
They are good insulators of heat and electricity. They are mostly gases and sometimes liquid. Sometimes they are even solid at room temperature like, Carbon, sulfur and phosphorus.
