The answer is c. Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms & D. Four valence eletrons are shared


Whattwo oxygen atoms to form oxygen gas how many electrons are shared?

each oxygen shares two electrons, resulting in 4 electrons shared


What type of bonds are oxygen and oxygen?

Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.

8


Hydrogen and oxygen are what type of bonds?

Polar Covalent Bond. This is when a pair of electrons is shared between two atoms in a molecule but the electrons are not equally shared. Because the Oxygen atom has a stronger pull on the electrons than the Hydrogen, the electrons will be more drawn to the Oxygen atom.

counting the shared electrons, 8.


Which has a greater attraction for electrons Fluorine or Oxygen?

when compared to oxygen, fluorine has greater electronegativity (greater attraction for shared pair of electrons).


The double bond between a carbon atom and two oxygen atoms (a molecule of carbon dioxide) has two characteristics. what are they?

Valence electrons are shared between oxygen atoms, Four valence electrons are shared.


How many electrons are in the outermost energy level of an oxygen atom as it shares electrons with hydrogen atoms as part of water molecule?

In water molecules there are 2 atoms of hydrogen of and 1 atom of oxygen present. each hydrogen atom shares 1 electron with the oxygen atom. So the total number of electrons shared with oxygen are 2,total no. of electrons shared by hydrogen is 2 and the total no. of electrons shared by each hydrogen atom is 1.


Does hydrogren pulls on the shared electrons more than oxygen in water?

No, the opposite occurs. As the oxygen atom is much larger, it has a bigger 'pull' on the shared electrons, creating an uneven distribution of electrons known as a permanent dipole. No, Oxygen pulls the electrons more strongly than the Hydrogen, resulting in a partial negative charge on the Oxygen, and partial positive charges on the hydrogens.


How many electrons are shared in a water molecules?

2 electrons are shared in a water molecule. Duuuhhh.


How many pairs of electrons are being shared in a diatomic molecule of oxygen gas?

Diatomic oxygen has 6 valence electrons each and so has to share 2 pairs in order to satisfy the octet rule.
