How many electons does an oxygen atom have in its outer shell?
An oxygen atom has six (6) electrons in its outer shell.
How many electrons are in the outer shell of 0 atom?
Oxygen: 6 electrons
How many electrons are there in the outer shell of an oxygen atom?
8
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 electrons can an oxygen atom add to its outer shell?
2
How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to complete its outer shell?

How many electrons are in oxygen's outer level?
The word "valance" is used to describe electrons in the outer-most energy level of an atom. Oxygen has six valance electrons.
How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen (O) usually have in its outer orbit 6?
6
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.
One atom of oxygen has six electrons in its outer level How many of those electrons are not in pairs?
0. All electrons will pair if there is an even number
How many electrons are in oxygen?
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
How many electrons does a neutral atom of oxygen O usually have in its outer orbit?
A neutral atom of oxygen has 6 electrons in it's most outer orbit. Generally, if you count horizontally from left-to-right on the periodic table, you get the number of electrons in its' most outer orbit. You start every row with 1, of course. :) Hope that helps!
