Two non-metal atoms contain same numberof electrons in their valence shells. One of the non-metal in its most abundant form react with the other non-metal forming a very stable compound 'A' . Compound 'A' on reaction with oxygen and fused sodium hydroxide gives tow products B and C. 'B' is used as raw material for the manufacture of glass and 'C' is the major constituents of glass. Identify A,B and C. Write balanced chemical eqations for the above reactions.

1.	Two non-metal atoms contain same numberof electrons in their valence shells. One of the non-metal in its most abundant form react with the other non-metal forming a very stable compound 'A' . Compound 'A' on reaction with oxygen and fused sodium hydroxide gives tow products B and C. 'B' is used as raw material for the manufacture of glass and 'C' is the major constituents of glass. Identify A,B and C. Write balanced chemical eqations for the above reactions.
Answer» SOLUTION :(i) Raw material used in the manufacture of glass and the MAJOR constituents of glass. (II) Identification of B and C. (III) Identification of a based on the COMPOSITION of B and C.
