Electron configuration for O

Answer 1

O2- would have the electron configuration of 1s2 2s2 2p6 Because the Oxygen has a charge of 2-, that means it has two more electrons than normal. So you do the electron configuration normally, then add two electrons! =]

Answer 2

Oxygen (O) is based on a helium (He) core configuration. The electronic configuration of O is [He]2s^2 2p^4, 2, 6.

Answer 3

1s2 2s2 2px2 2py1 2pz1

You may only need to say "1s2 2s2 2p5"

px, py and pz are the three types of p orbitals, no one really worries about them much.

Answer 4

what is the electronic configuration of oxygen

Answer 5

1s2, 2s2, 2p4

Answer 6

1s2 2s2 2p4

Answer 7

2:6
