Answers:
1. Calcium (Ca) — g. +2
2. Francium (Fr) — e. +1
3. Bromine (Br) — b. -1
4. Sulfur (S) — f. -2
5. Xenon (Xe) — c. 0
6. Carbon (C) — h. +4/−4
7. Phosphorus (P) — d. -3
8. Boron (B) — a. +3
Reason: Charges follow the group (valence electron) tendency: Group 1 → +1, Group 2 → +2, Group 13 → +3, Group 14 → ±4, Group 15 → −3 (commonly), Group 16 → −2, Halogens (Group 17) → −1, noble gases are usually 0.
