The water molecule has a 4 electron group, as the oxygen has two lone pairs. The two lone pairs are going to repulse the hydrogen atoms creating a bent shape for the water molecule.

The electron configuration for oxygen is [He]2s2.2p4.The electron configuration for sulfur is [Ne]3s2.3p4.
Oxygen is the final exceptor
Oxygen is the final electron acceptor of the electron transfer chain. Hydrogen ( protons ) come down their concentration gradient and through the ATP sythase making ATP. Then they, with the electrons oxygen accepts, become H2O.
Yes sulfur does have more electron shells than oxygen.
oxygen atom
tetrahederal.
Electron geometry for this is tetrahedral. There are two O-F single bonds, which makes 2 electron groups. There are two lone pairs around oxygen, which make up the last two electron groups. Molecules with four electron groups has a tetrahedral Electron geometry.
One Oxygen in the middle, with two hydrogen, one on each side. Two electron pair, one on each side of the oxygen, but not the same side as the hydrogen.
the electron pair geometry would be trigonal planar because there is a lone pair on the oxygen atom. The molecular pair geometry would be bent
Water is not a linear molecule because of the location of oxygen's electron orbits. The bonding electrons are angled and this results in the shape of the molecule.

The electron configuration for oxygen is [He]2s2.2p4.The electron configuration for sulfur is [Ne]3s2.3p4.
In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor is (usually) oxygen. Sometimes it can be sulfur or nitrogen in the absence of oxygen (as in extreme environments) in extremophiles.
In the electron transport chain Oxygen is the final electron acceptor. Also the Oxygen accepts 2 Hydrogen ions, making water in the process. The dissapearance of Oxygen shows that the electron transport chain is working and that Oxygen is doing its job.
Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Oxygen is the final exceptor
