Oxygen has 8 electrons (assuming its charge is 0), and in the first shell ("closest" to the nucleus) there are 2 electrons. :)
The innermost shell of every atom except hydrogen consists of 2 electrons.
Two. An inner shell contains 2 electrons; and an outer shell contains 2 electrons on its near side and 4 more electrons on its outer side. Total of 8 electrons.
The electron configuration of an oxygen atom is (2, 6). Meaning it has 2 electrons in its first shell and 6 in its second.The energy levels of atoms are limited to how many electrons they can hold.The first energy level can only hold a maximum of 2 electrons the second has a maximum of 8 and the third has a maximum of 18 etc.Hope this Helps!
An oxygen atom has eight electrons. The first electron shell can contain two electrons so that shell is filled leaving six electrons left. Since the second electron shell can contain up to eight electrons, the remaining six electrons go into the second shell. Since the second shell is the outermost shell, there are six electron's in the outer energy level.
An atom of oxygen needs 2 electrons to complete its outer shell, which can hold a total of 8 electrons. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its outer shell, so it will gain 2 electrons through bonding to achieve a full valence shell.
Oxygen. Two of the electrons are in the first shell. The other six of them are in the second shell.

A neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, two in the first energy level, and six in the second energy level, which are the valence (not covalent) electrons. You can tell how many electrons a neutral atom has by looking at that element's atomic number. The atomic number is the number of protons in the nuclei of the atoms of that element. In a neutral atom the numbers of protons and electrons are equal. So the element oxygen has the atomic number 8, and in a neutral oxygen atom, there will be 8 protons and 8 electrons.
The first shell can hold two electrons only.
In Bohr's model, electrons in an oxygen atom occupy specific quantized energy levels called shells. Oxygen has two electrons in its innermost shell (K shell) and six electrons in its second shell (L shell). These electrons are arranged in a way that follows the principle of filling the lowest energy levels first before moving to higher ones.
An electrically neutral oxygen atom has eight electrons, one for each proton in its nucleus. Two electrons are in the inner shell and six are in the outer shell.
