(N/A) Following the periodic law and the Aufbau principle,we can predict the positions of these elements:
$1$. For $Z=117$: The element follows the noble gas $Rn$ $(Z=86)$. The configuration is $[Rn] 5f^{14} 6d^{10} 7s^{2} 7p^{5}$. It belongs to Group $17$ (Halogen family).
$2$. For $Z=120$: The element follows the noble gas $Og$ $(Z=118)$. The configuration is $[Og] 8s^{2}$. It belongs to Group $2$ (Alkaline earth metals).
