Yes. Oxygen usually forms the O2- ion.
the symbol for Oxygen is O, the Oxygen ion is 2-. therefore the symbol for the oxygen ion is O2-
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
sodium
Not O3, which is ozone. But O-2 is the most common ion of oxygen.
ate as in sulfate, which is SO4 as opposed to sulfite, which is SO3
It needs 2 electrons for this. Oxygen makes -2 ion by gaining 2 electrons. It is the most stable ion that oxygen makes.
the symbol for Oxygen is O, the Oxygen ion is 2-. therefore the symbol for the oxygen ion is O2-
Oxygen ions typically form in one of two ways: either by gaining two electrons to form O^2- ions, or by losing two electrons to form O^2+ ions. The most common form of oxygen ion is the oxide ion (O^2-).
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
Yes oxygen can form the oxide ion O2-, and the peroxide ion O22-
When copper combines with oxygen to form copper oxide, the copper ion has a +2 charge. This is because copper typically forms a 2+ oxidation state when it combines with oxygen in this compound.
Sulfur typically gains 2 electrons to form an ion with a -2 charge.
When copper combines with oxygen to form copper (II) oxide, the charge of the copper ion is +2. This is because in copper (II) oxide, each copper ion has lost two electrons to oxygen atoms, resulting in a +2 charge.

sodium
Oxygen is most likely to form the oxide ion (O2-) by gaining two electrons.
An oxygen atom has 6 protons and 6 electrons, giving it a neutral charge. When it gains 2 electrons to form an oxygen ion, it will have 8 electrons in total. Since it now has 2 more negatively charged electrons than positively charged protons, the oxygen ion will have a charge of -2.
