One can only hold 2 electrons which only means shell two can hold 8, and for the first eighteen elements shell three can hold a maximum of eight electrons
The elements on the periodic table are listed in increasing atomic number.
Hydrogen is the first element, and has an A.N. of 1. Also, its very interesting how it doesn't need 8 valence electrons to be stable.
The second element is Helium, which has an A.N (atomic number) of two.
This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water.
REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work.
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

You just switch them around
