During oxidation an oxygen atom gain two electrons.
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
The charge for SiO2 is neutral overall. Silicon typically has a charge of +4, and oxygen has a charge of -2, so in SiO2, there is one silicon atom and two oxygen atoms, resulting in a neutral compound.
Oxygen typically has a negative charge when it forms ions, such as in the case of the oxide ion (O2-). In its neutral state, oxygen atoms do not have a net charge.
Oxygen atoms do not possess a net positive charge. They typically exist in a neutral state, with equal numbers of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).
Molecular oxygen is neutral; the ions are frequently (O)2-.
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
Oxygen typically carries a charge of -2 when forming compounds.
The charge of an oxygen ion is 2-. The oxygen nucleus itself is neutral unless it undergoes a reaction.
The oxygen atom is neutral.
ALL atoms whatsoever DO NOT have a charge!! They're neutral.
No. On its own oxygen is neutral. Its ion, the oxide ion, has a negative charge

Oxygen typically has a negative charge when it forms ions, such as in the case of the oxide ion (O2-). In its neutral state, oxygen atoms do not have a net charge.
Oxygen atoms are neutral, and so their net charge is zero. This is because its nucleus has the same number of eight positively charged protons as there are (also) eight electrons in the shells around it.
No, COH4 is not a neutral compound. It would be a compound with a net charge, as the total charge of the hydrogen atoms would likely be positive and the charge of the oxygen atom would be negative.
Water is a neutral molecule, meaning it has no net charge. The oxygen atom in a water molecule has a slight negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms have a slight positive charge, but overall the molecule is neutral.
Oxygen atoms do not possess a net positive charge. They typically exist in a neutral state, with equal numbers of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge).
