How many unpaired electrons are there in a oxygen atom in its ground state?

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.

How does the molecular order structure explain the magnetic properties of oxygen?
Molecular orbital theory predicts that ground state diatomic oxygen has two unpaired electrons (it is a diradical) which occupy its pi orbitals. These unpaired electrons produce a magnetic moment and are responsible for the paramagnetic property of diatomic oxygen.

How do you deduce the number of unpaired electrons for the correct ground state configuration?
Add the electrons in accordance with the aufbau principle and then count the unpaired ones.
