Corrected: All atoms have a neutral charge until they lose or gain electrons. Once they lose/gain electrons then they are considered ions with respectively positive (on loosing) or negative charge (on gaining electrons, as oxygen tends to do).
NO: 2-. It's the same as minus 2, but is written as 2- for conventions.

The overall charge of the oxygen atom is?
Zero
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
A ketone bears a negative charge on what atom of the carbonyl group?
ketone bears negative charge on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.
How do you convert a neutral oxygen atom to an anion carrying a charge of 2?
During oxidation an oxygen atom gain two electrons.
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the oxygen?
The oxygen atom is neutral.
What is the charge of the oxygen atom in cobalt?
Cobalt is an element, there is no oxygen.
The overall charge of the oxygen atom is?
Zero
What kind of charge would the oxygen atom have compared to the hydrogen atom?
Oxygen -2 Hydrogen +1
How many electrons would an atom of Oxygen need to have no charge?
Oxygen needs 8 electrons to have no charge.
What is the charge of a oxygen atom?
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
When an oxygen atom gains two electrons to become an oxygen ion what is the electric charge?
The resulting oxygen ion has a charge of -2.
A ketone bears a negative charge on what atom of the carbonyl group?
ketone bears negative charge on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl group.
How do you convert a neutral oxygen atom to an anion carrying a charge of 2?
During oxidation an oxygen atom gain two electrons.
Is oxygen is a positive charge?
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge
What is the overall charge of a carbon atom and three oxygen atoms?
Carbon as an atom has no charge, as all atoms are neutral particles. This is because they have equal numbers of protons and electrons, so the carbon atom has no charge.
Which kind of elctrical charge if found on the oxygen atom of a polar water molecule?
a partially negative charge.
