How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outershell?
Six in the outer (2nd) shell
What are electons that are found at the atom's highest or outer level called?
Valence electrons. They exist in the atom's valence shell.
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of an oxygen atom?
8
Why is sulfur atom similar to oxygen atom?
Because it has 6 electrons in its outer shell, just like oxygen.
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to complete its outer shell?
An atom of oxygen needs 2 electrons to complete its outer shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, so it will gain 2 electrons through bonding to achieve a full valence shell.
How many electrons can an oxygen atom add to its outer shell?
2
How many electrons are in the outer shell of 0 atom?
The atom O has 6 electrons in its outer shell, as it belongs to group 16 of the periodic table, also known as the oxygen family.
What happens to the outer shell of a calcium atom when it reacts with an oxygen atom?
When a calcium atom reacts with an oxygen atom, the calcium atom loses two electrons from its outer shell and the oxygen atom gains those electrons. This forms a calcium ion with a 2+ charge and an oxygen ion with a 2- charge. These ions then bond together to form calcium oxide.
How many electons does oxygen have?
In one atom of Oxygen there are 8 electrons
How is an atom of the element sodium structurally different from an atom of magnesium?
A sodium atom has 11 protons and 11 electrons including 1 outer shell electron A magnesium atom has 12 protons and 12 electons of which 2 are in the outer shell. Sodium loses its valence electron more easily than magnesium does, making the sodium much more reactive.
How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen usually have in it's outer orbit?
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. These are in the outer orbit.
How many electron does oxygen have?
An electrically neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. Two electrons are in the inner shell and six are in the outer shell.
