There are 4
An atom of boron has 3 paired electrons. Boron has 5 electrons in its neutral state, with 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 paired electrons in the second shell.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Oxygen is a chemical metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
A silicon atom has 4 valence electrons. These electrons are paired up in the 3s and 3p orbitals. Therefore, a silicon atom does not have any unpaired electrons.
An oxygen atom has 8 electrons, and thus 6 valence electrons. 4 of these are paired, giving us 2 unpaired lectrons. This also means oxygen can connect to 2 other atoms through a basic bond, or 1 atom through a double bond.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. That means an atom of oxygen always has 8 protons. To stabilize it then, it must also have 8 electrons.
