An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
O - Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen has 2 valence electrons.
the O major shell can hold 1 electron
There are 8 electrons. 2 in the 1st shell and 6 in the 2nd.
The # of Valance electrons in the oxygen famly is 6
O - Oxygen has 6 valence electrons.
O-2 ion has 10 electrons in total.
Oxygen has 2 valence electrons.
In elemental oxygen (O) there are 8 neutrons and 8 electrons for the O-8 isotope.
the O major shell can hold 1 electron
There are 8 electrons. 2 in the 1st shell and 6 in the 2nd.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 16 electrons in a single atom.
Here are 16 valence electrons: 3 from H, 8 from O and 5 from P.
N = +5 , o = -2
A C-O - bond will consist of 2 shared electrons, spending time circling the nucleus of both atoms. They will spend more time with the O though, since the atoms has a higher electric negativity, meaning a more attractive nucleus for the electrons. This is because O has many protons in the nucleus and it keeps its electrons close by.
Oxygen is in group 6, and so it has 6 valence electrons. It needs to more to make an octet, so it will GAIN TWO electrons, and become negative 2, i.e. O^2-.
It would have 8 protons, 9 neutrons and 8 electrons.
