Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

(a) Sulfur, fluorine.

The pair of elements most likely to form a molecular compound with each other are two nonmetals.

The only pair of nonmetals is sulfur and fluorine.

All the other options are wrong, because the pairs consist of a metal and a nonmetal. Their compounds are usually ionic.
