They share two pairs of electrons and have 2 lone pairs
Atoms in the oxygen family can gain or share two electrons in order to achieve an octet of electrons.
Two.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
8
Two electrons from each element are shared; the total is four 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.
Chlorine has 7 electrons, so in order to both have 8, they need to share 2 electrons.:)
fluorine in its neutral state (meaning it isn't an ion) typically gains one electron
Diatomic oxygen has 6 valence electrons each and so has to share 2 pairs in order to satisfy the octet rule.
It is a triple covalent bond, therefore the carbon atoms share six electrons.
Oxygen has 8 electrons in a neutral state.
