Answer:

the answer is

a

b

d

c

Explanation:

hopeit help

The correct matches will be:

  1. Chlorine (Cl) ⇒ Seven
  2. Neon (Ne) ⇒ Eight
  3. Phosphorus (P)  ⇒ five
  4. Sulfur (S)  ⇒ six

  • Chlorine has an atomic number of 17 and its electronic configuration is given by:

                     [tex][Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5[/tex]

  • Number of valence electrons in chlorine is 7.
  • Neon has an atomic number of 10 and its electronic configuration is given by:

                     [tex][Ne]=1s^22s^22p^6[/tex]

  • Number of valence electrons in neon is 8.
  • Phosphorus has an atomic number of 15 and its electronic configuration is given by:

                       [tex][P]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^3[/tex]

  • Number of valence electrons in phosphorus  is 5
  • Sulfur has an atomic number of 16 and its electronic configuration is given by:

                        [tex][S]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^4[/tex]

  • Number of valence electrons in sulfur is 6.

So, from this, we can conclude that the correct matches will be:

  1. Chlorine (Cl) ⇒ Seven
  2. Neon (Ne) ⇒ Eight
  3. Phosphorus (P)  ⇒ five
  4. Sulfur (S)  ⇒ six
