Valence greater than 4 #26

I was wondering why do you not allow the valence of every atom to be greater than 4.

jhjensen2 commented 3 years ago

The max valence for P and S are 5 and 6, respectively. But 4 is max valence for the carbon row. I don't know of any example where such atoms have a valence larger than 4.
