Answer:

fluorine (F), and chlorine (Cl) because they are both halogens and belong to the same group in the periodic table

Explanation:

The pair of non - metals in the elements given that will have similar properties are chlorine and Fluorine.

This is because they both are elements commonly known by the group name Halogens which belong to group 7A.

Properties of halogens include;

- They are very reactive, have single covalent bonds and readily form other compounds.

- In the gaseous state, they will form diatomic covalent molecules.

Whereas, helium is a group 8 element, oxygen is a group 6 element while carbon is a group 4 element.
