(c) An element T has a melting point of 30°C and a boiling point of 2440 °C. It conducts
electricity at room temperature. It burns in oxygen to form an oxide with formula T₂O₂
which can react with both acids and bases. T also forms a compound with fluorine,
which has a high melting point and conducts electricity in molten form. The
