Answer 1

To match the elements to the number of valence electrons, here are the details for the elements you provided and their corresponding number of valence electrons:

1. **Oxygen (O)** - 6 valence electrons
2. **Calcium (Ca)** - 2 valence electrons
3. **Phosphorus (P)** - 5 valence electrons
4. **Argon (Ar)** - 8 valence electrons (noble gas)
5. **Chlorine (Cl)** - 7 valence electrons
6. **Boron (B)** - 3 valence electrons

**Responses based on valence electrons:**

- 2 valence electrons: **Calcium (Ca)**
- 3 valence electrons: **Boron (B)**
- 5 valence electrons: **Phosphorus (P)**
- 6 valence electrons: **Oxygen (O)**
- 7 valence electrons: **Chlorine (Cl)**
- 8 valence electrons: **Argon (Ar)**

You can now fill in the elements based on their corresponding number of valence electrons. If you are given a list of specific numbers, match them as follows:

- For 2: Calcium (Ca)
- For 3: Boron (B)
- For 5: Phosphorus (P)
- For 6: Oxygen (O)
- For 7: Chlorine (Cl)
- For 8: Argon (Ar)
