There are 8 electrons in a single neutral oxygen atom.
The atomic number of oxygen is 8, because it has 8 protons in its nucleus. In an elemental, neutral, atom of oxygen the number of electrons will match the number of protons. There are 8 electrons in a neutral oxygen atom.
Note that oxygen can become an ion under certain circumstances, and we need to specify the neutral atom to state how many electrons there are in oxygen.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
An oxygen atom can share up to two electrons to form a covalent bond with another atom. This is because oxygen has six valence electrons and can complete its octet by sharing two electrons with another atom.
Oxygen is a non metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
Oxygen has 8 protons and 8 electrons in its atom.
An atom of oxygen has 8 electrons, in the configuration 2,6.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Every oxygen atom has eight electrons.
Oxygen is a chemical metal element. There are 8 electrons in a single atom.
There are 16 electrons in an oxygen molecule as each oxygen atom has 8 electrons.
A neutral atom of oxygen would have 6 valence electrons.
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. That means an atom of oxygen always has 8 protons. To stabilize it then, it must also have 8 electrons.
An oxygen atom can share up to two electrons to form a covalent bond with another atom. This is because oxygen has six valence electrons and can complete its octet by sharing two electrons with another atom.
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
Oxygen has six valence electrons.
