An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, an O2 Molecule would therefore have 15, I think.
Oxygen has 8 electrons in a neutral state.
A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons regardless of the isotope.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
8
6
Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. These are in the outer orbit.
There are 8 electrons in a single neutral oxygen atom.The atomic number of oxygen is 8, because it has 8 protons in its nucleus. In an elemental, neutral, atom of oxygen the number of electrons will match the number of protons. There are 8 electrons in a neutral oxygen atom.Note that oxygen can become an ion under certain circumstances, and we need to specify the neutral atom to state how many electrons there are in oxygen.
Each isotope of oxygen (15 to 19) has the same number of protons (8), hence the neutral atoms have 8 electrons.
A neutral oxygen atom has six valence electrons.
A neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, two in the first energy level, and six in the second energy level, which are the valence (not covalent) electrons. You can tell how many electrons a neutral atom has by looking at that element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. In a neutral atom the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. So the element oxygen has the atomic number 8, and in a neutral oxygen atom, there will be 8 protons and 8 electrons.
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.
For the most part, oxygen has 8 electrons. This is oxygen's neutral state.
