8
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
A neutral oxygen atom has 8 electrons. When oxygen becomes an ion, it can gain 2 electrons to become O2-, losing the neutral 8 electrons to become a total of 10 electrons in the ion.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
hydorgen: 1 electron Oxygen: 8 electrons Therefore 10 electrons
A carbonate ion (CO3^2-) has a total of 24 electrons. This is calculated by adding the number of electrons in a carbon atom (6 electrons per carbon atom) to the number of electrons in three oxygen atoms (8 electrons per oxygen atom).
Calcium oxide has 20 electrons from the calcium atom, and 8 electrons from the oxygen atom, totaling 28 electrons.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
An oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outermost energy level. In a water molecule, each hydrogen atom can share one electron with the oxygen atom, forming a covalent bond. This results in the oxygen atom having a total of 8 electrons in its outermost energy level.
O₂ refers to a molecule of oxygen, which consists of two oxygen atoms. Each oxygen atom has 8 electrons, so in total, O₂ has 16 electrons. If you are asking about the number of electrons in an ion of oxygen, such as O²⁻ (which has gained two extra electrons), then it would have 10 electrons per atom, totaling 20 electrons for the O²⁻ ion.
