Atoms in the oxygen family can gain or share two electrons in order to achieve an octet of electrons.
oxygen is an element. It is made of only atoms. So I guess 1, since 1 oxygen atom is 1 oxygen atoms. However, it has 6 protons and electrons.
Eight. Oxygen has 6 electrons and shares two more with the hydrogen atoms in covalent bonds
The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared
There are two electrons in all atoms
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. A person can determine the number of valence electrons by looking at the periodic table. since oxygen is in the 6th column form the left, it has 6 valence electrons.
They share two pairs of electrons and have 2 lone pairs
An unbonded oxygen atom has eight electrons, with six of the electrons located in the valence shell. Two of the valence electrons are unpaired, and therefore can undergo covalent bonding with other oxygen atoms or nonmetals (such as hydrogen).
