I'm not sure if this is it, but ...

| Comment 1 of 5

Symbol Bond angle # bonds boiling point (Celsius)

(1) CH4: 109.5 degrees 4 bonds -161.55

(2) NH3: 107.8 degrees 3 bonds -33.34

(3) H2O: 104.5 degrees 2 bonds +100

So, I'm guessing it is the number of bonds.

The next two could be

(4) any molecule with 2 atoms and a single bond

(5) any molecule consisting of a single atom

(4) Hydrogen (H2)

(5) Helium (He)
